What does PCM mean as a classroom mode?

Students view the course content on the internet or by visiting the library to view the videotapes of the lectures. PCM courses require that you attend a mandatory orientation on campus, in which all of the course information is explained. The course has deadlines for assignments and exact dates to take exams. The student is responsible for watching all lectures, keeping up with the assignments and quizzes, and taking exams by the deadlines given. The exams are taking at the testing center of the ACC campus of your choice. The professor will help in facilitating the course and answer any questions that may arise.
