Online or Not Online?
Darton College wants all its students to be successful and have a positive learning experience in all their courses. We ask you, therefore, to consider the following before you make the decision to take an online course:
| An online course has a mandatory on-campus or online orientation. |
| An online course begins and ends with the other courses in the same semester. It follows a schedule and has deadlines for tests and assignments. |
| An online course may require more time than the same course taken in the classroom. A student needs to check his/her email daily and work on the course regularly. |
| An online course has minimum hardware and software requirements. |
| An online course may require that you come to campus to complete an assignment or take a test or exam. |
| An online course may not be right for you if you were not successful in the classroom section of the same course. |
| Use the Internet, including emailing, navigating the Web, downloading, printing out online materials, etc. |
| Use the computer, including word processing, required software application, file management, etc. |
| Follow the syllabus, learn independently, and meet the deadlines. |
| Follow online instructions on tests and assignments. |
| Contact your instructor in a timely manner if you need clarification about an assignment |
| Communicate with your instructor in a timely manner if you have difficulties meeting a deadline or understanding the course material. |
| Seek help from College support personnel in a timely manner if you need assistance with library, computer, network, and other learning support resources. |
