ONLINE COURSES
Structure of online courses:
Online classes are designed to provide students with enough
structure to keep on track, while still allowing for a great deal of
flexibility in learning. This means that students have weekly
assignments, projects, quizzes, etc. but can decide for themselves
when they want to work on their class during the week. Online
students must learn to manage their time well and balance
competing demands.
