How is the web-based course organized?
You can log into the course materials at any time; you work at your own pace. To keep things organized, the material will be presented in 12 Units to complete during a 15 week Fall/Spring semester; you should plan to complete a unit each week during a regular semester or 2-3 units each week during a 5-week summer term. Additional time is allowed (12 lab units over 15 weeks) to facilitate the mailing of the lab kits; the lab kit is not required for the first lab unit, so you can begin on the course immediately, prior to receiving the lab kit. Each unit of course material is written so that it will provide you with what is usually cover in “live” course. No textbook is needed. In the lab course, all lab units are accessible from the beginning of the semester/term. This will allow you to work ahead if desired and even complete the course early. Typically, you should anticipate that each unit of material will take about 2-4 hours to complete, on average. Again, you progress through the mat
