How does an Online Course work?
Once a student has registered for a course they will be granted a password that will give them access to the course website. The course website will contain handouts, vidoes, scores and weekly assignments. Access to online subscription services, and other online resources will be linked to each week’s assignment to aid the student in completing the assignments, online reviews, quizzes and tests scheduled throughout the course.
