Skills |
| Learning
online requires different skills, abilities and equipment. Here
are some guidelines: |
· Most
online courses require college-level reading and writing ability.
As writing is the main method of communication, you need to consider
whether your skills are adequate to do well in college-level classes.
Some courses will have specific prerequisites. Others may provide guidelines
for appropriate levels of ability in English within the course itself.
Each college also has standards related to entry and placement tests such
as the TOEFL, Compass or Asset test.
If you are unsure about your academic abilities, please contact your college's
assessment office, an advisor, your college's Distance Learning staff,
or the instructor for the course you are considering. |
