Is Online Learning For You?
The ICCOC is committed to student success, and we want to ensure that this type of learning environment is right for you. Online courses provide a convenient way for you to pursue your educational goals; however, our online courses are NOT self-paced.
You will have the flexibility of working on your homework as it fits into your daily schedule, but there are due dates throughout the terms for assignments, projects, papers, quizzes and/or exams.
Our online courses have the same academic standards as traditional classroom courses. In fact, the added components of technology coupled with no face-to-face interaction with an instructor or classmates can make these courses more challenging.
Time Management
Online courses require as much time (if not more time) as on-campus courses. It is important that you schedule enough time to meet the requirements of each course.
During a 16-week term:
Set aside approximately 10 hours per week to complete work for one 3-credit hour course.
During an 8-week term:
Set aside approximately 15 to 20 hours per week to complete work for one 3-credit hour course. |
