How do correspondence education courses work?
When you enroll, you receive instructions (in print, CD, or website form) that direct you on how to access discussions, explanations, and reading and writing assignments. These guide you through the course as a classroom instructor would. Some courses require that written “homework” be delivered by land mail and/or face-to-face delivery, while others permit email or web delivery. Suggested exam completion schedules are also provided so you can complete your course in a timely manner. When “homework” is received, the office records its receipt and submits it to the instructor. The instructor has two weeks to grade assignments, then sends them back to CE with a grade and comments. CE records the grades and delivers/mails the assignments back to you.
