Math 160 \u00a0Online FAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Q&A For Prospective Students<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. What is an online course?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An online course is a course that is taught over the Internet. The student enrolled in an online course does not attend class and thus does not have the advantage of hearing the instructor explain the material or of participating in classroom discussions of the material. Instead, the student learns the material by using the resources provided by the teacher, and in general, questions are answered via email and discussions take place on electronic discussion boards. Tests are given on campus in a proctored environment.<\/p>\n

2. Is an online mathematics course a wise choice for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
