MCC Online Courses
Online courses provide MCC students with the opportunity to take classes anywhere. Online courses are equivalent to lecture courses. A course website contains the course syllabus, class assignments, student activities, and other necessary information. Email and discussion forums are the primary tools used for communication between the instructor and students. This combination of course website, supporting materials, and discussion tools form a virtual classroom in which the students and instructor interact. Most online courses do not require the student to visit the campus and may be completed entirely online, but a few do have proctored exams, so checking the course info sheets before signing up is always a wise precaution. One of the biggest advantages that online courses offer is flexibility of daily schedule. The student can schedule their class work at the time of the day most useful to them, rather than having to appear in a classroom for one or more fixed periods each week.
