How do Cerro Coso Online courses work?
You must have access to the Internet and a computer (for more specific equipment requirements see computer requirements). You will access your class via your web browser during times that are convenient to you. Our classes are not designed to be self-paced, there are definite beginning and ending times as well as specific dates that assignments and tests are due. They are, however, designed to be taken asynchronously – at your convenience. You can access your class at 9:00AM, 9:00PM, 3:00PM, or 3:00AM! For the most part you will do your reading and coursework offline, take tests offline and online, and interact with your instructor and classmates via electronic mail, discussion groups, and, in some cases, chat rooms. You can also interact with your instructor via the telephone. Cerro Coso Online courses are designed with flexibility in mind.
