This is a 90 day independent study course, and is designed to be primarily self-paced. Its requirements include assignments and tests that you will complete and submit via the
Internet. I will maintain email and Internet contact and will be available to answer questions, engage in discussion and provide assistance as needed. Your assignments should be submitted as file attachments
in either Microsoft Word or HTML format. Each assignment will be evaluated, graded, and returned with feedback. Values for each assignment and test are provided in a table below. Timing
Please be sure
to time your assignments so that you have adequate time to complete the work in 90 days. Course tests are sent to you after you complete specific assignments (please see Test page), so be sure to give yourself
enough space to pace the work comfortably. Communication
As an independent study course, this is more a one-on-one exercise than a scheduled class might be. However, discussion is still important.
Please feel free to use my email address for questions, comments, concerns, etc. and I will do the same. We do have the option to add a discussion forum should we need one.
Evaluation Material Assignments and Tests
There are 6 individual assignments, plus a final paper and a final exam. Grade Components
