Course Expectations:

BIOL 2190 is an online distance learning course with minimal instructor contact. Students are expected to access the material and complete assignments by all deadlines without reminders from the instructor. The students who will be most successful in this course are those who are well-organized, self-motivated, can stay on task, and are self-learners. Student who need consistent reminders, procrastinate, or believe they will be able to "just look up all answers when the test comes" will find this course quite challenging and potentially will set themselves up for a less than satisfactory grade. Please consider which type of student you are before you commit to this course.

 

Note to Summer Session Students: The workload for this course is not reduced during the summer term just because of the shorter time frame. We will cover the same number of chapters as we would in a regular term. That means you will be responsible for studying and learning 18 chapters in 23 days. Each test will cover 3 chapters and will be given every 3-4 days from the first day of the term. Please make sure this is a task you are up to before committing to this course.
