BA 104 Self-paced delivery

Is the self-paced/self-study section of BA 104 Business Math for you?

Are you…

ü      Confident in your math aptitude?

ü      Self disciplined?

ü      Able to learn without class instruction and assignments?

ü      Eager to complete the class quickly?

 

If yes, you may benefit from the self-paced/ self-study section:

  • Instructional materials include the text, video lectures provide by the author via DVD, 
    practice quizzes, and access to the instructor for one on one instruction.
  • The instructor will be available at scheduled times to administer exams and offer 
    assistance with questions.
  • Assessment will be in the form of a series of five exams and a final.
  • The exams have target dates.  Students may take the exams before, but not after the  
    target dates. Students may retake each exam one time before the target date.

 What will you miss?

ü      The structure of a traditional class,

ü      working collaboratively with your classmates on projects, and

ü      the color and context provided by the instructor and fellow students.
