About the Course:
On-line courses are designed for mature, self-motivated students who have obligations that make it difficult to commit to a regular class schedule. The student must be proficient in communication via internet.
During the semester the student will complete paper and pencil assignments from the text for practice. The students are required to take three or four tests and a comprehensive final exam. All tests must be taken in a proctored situation. Venues for test taking may include the Camden County College Testing Center, testing centers at other colleges or universities, commercial testing centers, and other public locations, like libraries or community centers. Under most circumstances it is desirable that the test be proctored by the same educator at the preferred testing location throughout the semester.
The most important ingredient for success in an on-line course is that you communicate with me regularly. You can do this by e-mail or, of course, in person.
