STUDENTS
Credit Hour Definition
Courses offered both online and traditional
Student learning objectives are the same regardless of the format the course is offered. When the course is offered similar assessments are utilized to ensure student learning. Thus, while teaching the same objectives we can assume that classroom and out of class time for the distance course is equivalent to the traditional course offering.
