Here is a preview of some of the mythbusting that we’ll be doing: “When I talk to students about taking online courses, I advise them to think carefully about their strengths and areas of struggle, learning styles, and the discipline of the class they are considering taking online in order to ensure a good fit. I give them the example that I personally would feel confident taking any Humanities or Social Science class online, but would really hesitate to take a science or math class online; however, I would be willing to take THIS online math class and would feel very comfortable doing so.” — Reviewer of Math 1220 – Calculus II

We look forward to seeing everyone on July 17.
