How is taking elementary algebra online different from a traditional lecture class?
This class uses computer programs and the Internet to deliver content such as video lectures and printed text, present exercise problems for student interaction, and keep a record of student progress. Students working homework problems online will receive immediate feedback on their work. The tutorial assistance includes step-by-step instruction, a sample problem, printed text, and a video clip. You can work as many problems as you like on the computer. Since the class does not meet face-to-face, interaction with the instructor and other students will take place in an asynchronous discussion forum where students post questions, responses, and problem solutions several times a week. If you were taking this class in the traditional face-to-face format, your class would meet in a lecture room for four hours per week, and each student spends about eight hours per week outside of class on homework assignments. Online students should be prepared to spend 12 to 15 hours per week on this cours
