Daniel Webster
College announces four-week online intersession courses
Classes that go wherever you go during the
holidays
November 14, 2003 - Daniel
Webster Colleges Online Intersession courses are expected to draw quite
"crowd" as students and adults from around the region - and beyond - take
advantage of the opportunity to earn three credits, or more, during the
colleges four-week Online Intersession December 20, 2003 through January
17, 2004.
The program, which provides student-centered learning,
anywhere anytime, offers the opportunity to satisfy prerequisites, prepare
for spring coursework, make up for "lost time," or get a "step ahead." The
schedule features a variety of courses, including Introduction to Databases,
Microeconomics, Organizational Behavior, Film and Culture, College Writing
and Research, and more. Visit
Said one DWC online student, "My schedule is very hectic
and since I was able to gain flexibility I thought I would give distance
education a try. Well, I am now hooked on the distant education classes
(and it is) making my hectic life easier. Offering such a flexible program
for those of us who work full time, have children and activities that
restrict our ability to attend class room courses (helps to complete my
degree)."
"Daniel Webster College's four-week Online Intersession
courses support its students and also offers students from other colleges
and universities an opportunity to take a course or two while they are home
for the holidays and in a convenient and flexible format," said director Kim
Dabilis Byrne.
Online courses should not be perceived as being any easier
than a more traditional class, Dabilis Byrne notes. "Studies show that
online courses can be more intensely interactive in an environment that
allows student-to-student and student-to-instructor collaboration and
provides dynamic course content."
"There's a little bit more discipline involved," said Mark
Wireman, who completed his bachelors degree even as he was sent to an
undisclosed Navy base in Europe to support the war in Afghanistan. "It is
probably more challenging than the classroom session - there's more reading,
more research, more investigation. Because of that, though, I think I
learned more."
More than a dozen undergraduate courses in business and
management, computer science, the humanities, and more are available online
December 20, 2003 through January 17, 2004. Because of the shortened term
length, registration is accepted only through December 23rd.
Daniel Webster College is regionally accredited by the New
England Association of Schools & Colleges and its online program is
professionally accredited by the Association of Accredited Online Programs
International. For more information visit
