Student Expectations
This is a 3 credit hour course and students can expect to spend at least 10 - 18 hours weekly working on this course. This time will be spent reading assignments, viewing video podcast demonstrations, participating in group discussions, creating drawings and taking quizes. The primary advantage of taking a class online is that students may work at anytime or anyplace. The disadvantage is that the student must make time. Very often busy students find it difficult to find the required 10 - 18 hours to spend on course work. If you are considering taking this class in the online format please view the link below to see what is required to be sucessful in the online learning environment. Keep in mind that even though you are not required to come to the campus at set days and times you will be required to work in the online environment several times each week.
