Traditional Telecourses
Telecourses
allow you to take college courses in the convenience of your
home. You check out DVDs from the LMC bookstore to study at
home, or view the DVDs/tapes in the William Hessel Library on
our Napier Avenue Campus.
Just
as in a traditional college course, you will need to purchase
textbooks, complete homework assignments, ant take exams. Instructors
are available by appointment, phone, or e-mail. You will be
required to attend five (5) sessions on campus - an orientation
and four (4) exams.
For
more information about telecourses, contact Bob
Lane, Telecourse Coordinator, at 269-927-8100 ext. 5003.
