| I. Week/Unit/Topic Basis: | |||||||||
| Although the schedule below is
set up for seven weeks, you do have the entire semester to complete the
course. Since you may be taking more than one CBT course, the schedule
below is set up so that you can complete the course in seven weeks
and then complete a second CBT course during the next seven weeks.
If you are taking three CBT courses, obviously you will either need to
complete a course in less than seven weeks or work on two courses
at the same time. (To complete two or three courses in one semester,
it is imperative that you budget your time accordingly.)
(See Where Do I Begin? section at end of this syllabus for detailed instructions on accessing tutorials, textbook assignments, and testing structure.) |
