    Has anyone taken a LSU distance course or an online graduate course through WNMU? I am interested in your input. Hard exams? A lot of papers? THANKS!

    LSU distance

    Hey there,

    I've taken Western Civ and English 102 through LSU. They are great courses, about 16 weeks. Each one has a mid-term exam and a final exam, which was primarily five essay questions. Both took me about 9 months to do together. But I am sure you can do them quicker. You basically attach your assignment each week to your LSU email account and submit your paper. The instructor mails you your assignment back graded....

    Essay questions even for Western Civ? No m/c and t/f? Do they get your graded work back to you pretty fast? Thanks for the input?

    I took a LSU correspondence course (ink and paper) many years ago; the exams were a mix of multiple choice and essay questions, and were proctored. I took mine at the UMass-Boston testing center.

    Old thread that should have your info

    Sowak,

    If you go to the end of this thread, you should be able to find the info you are looking for concerning WNMU:

    For the record, my colleague's disciplines are English and Political Science. He was Ed Technology, but he switched because we have difficulty finding qualified adjuncts to teach Poly Sci and related subjects.

    I just received access to my online syllabus for Children's Literature at LSU. It is going to be a lot of work.

    13 lessons in total.

    Read one chapter of the textbook per lesson, 4 or 5 pages of writing per lesson, several multiple-choice questions per lesson, and read a children's book or two or three per lesson. For example, I will have to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for lesson two.

    In total, it will be about 50 or 60 written pages, 13 quizzes, read the whole textbook, read loads of children's books, and two proctored exams. The exams have m-c and short essay. It is going to be a busy spring semester. I am going to wait a month to sign up for the next LSU class.

    I completed my BA using a manual typewriter (still have the typewriter if you need to borrow it:D ) The best feeling in the world was typing a paper and realizing it was the last one before I graduated. You'll get there too. Keep up the good work.

    No, not any multiple choice or true/false. You receive a notebook pad and a list of essay questions. Each question's answer can be just a paragraph, but you do have to memorize info. But every course might be different...English was way easier, but these are not just a breeze, there is some work involved. But for the price you can't beat it, and LSU on your resume looks really good, even for coursework.
