     60 ACADEMIC SUCCESS On-Line Course Overview     

 

                                                                                         

 

IMPORTANT PREFACE:  On-line courses taught at FC are intended to expand the use of technology and to provide another access to FC courses by using this media.  This  course contains  the same material

of  the traditional classroom course and course requirements are equivalent if not  the same.  This class does NOT teach the student how to do research on the Internet nor does it provide instruction on basic computer competency.  Students need to know how to log on the Internet, move around a web page, word processing and basic E-mail functions. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE IF YOU THINK IT WILL BE EASIER THAN THE TRADITIONAL CLASS, IT ISN’T.  If anything, the participation requirement is even more stringent and time lines are strictly imposed and enforced.
