I am not very good in math. Will this course be too
difficult for me? |
|
Before taking an online course, you should carefully assess
your learning style and self-motivation. This course does
require a high level of independent learning and
self-direction. |
|
How much time is required for this class? |
|
A typical college-level course requires 2 - 3 study hours
for each hour of lecture. For MATH 1530 (3 credit hour
course), the number of 'lecture' hours is 40.
Therefore the number of 'study' hours is between 80 - 120.
Based on this plan, you should plan to spend between 120 and
160 hours of time on this course. Over an eight week
period, this is an average of 15 to 20 hours per week.
If you find the material particularly difficult, plan for
your weekly commitment to exceed that range to approximately
25 hours. |
