Sample Expectations


Sample #1.

Expectations: Since this is a 2 credit graduate level course, you can expect to spend approximately 2-3 hours per week interacting on-line and another 4-8 hours studying off-line. We are assuming that most of you have had 1 or 2 basic philosophy courses. If that is not true for you, you can expect to spend more time!! If you are NOT able to spend this amount of time,or if you are having trouble with your WEBCT connection, please email *snip*. We'd like everyone to have a meaningful learning experience but this is not likely to happen if your involvment is inconsistent. We are intending to set up an atmosphere for dialogue and academic interactions and if your involvement is sporadic, this will not happen. So if the timing is not good for you at this time - we'll arrange for you to take the course later.
