It's time to step up to the plate!

Transfer Oriented Business Students- 2nd Semester
It’s time to step up to the plate

Two men on, the crack of the bat, the fans roar, and the inning is over……… What happened?
A triple play…. In baseball it is one of the fastest ways to end an inning.

The Business Studies and Social Science Departments are offering a Triple Play to accelerate your studies.
One night, one trip to campus per week for three courses, that is a triple play.

What courses?

On Wednesday nights during the spring semester 2011 the Business Studies Department is offering:
ACCT106.H83 Principles of Accounting II 4 credits
MKTG100.H83 Principles of Marketing 3 credits
ECON112.H83 Principles of Economics (MICRO) 3 credits
For one trip and one night that totals 10 credits

When do the classes meet?

Each course is taught in the hybrid mode and will meet five times during the semester. That is three courses offered from 6:30 to 9:00 pm in Penn 410 on alternating Wednesday evenings, each meeting five times during the 15 week semester. You may enroll in one, two, or all three courses.

ACCT106.H83… will meet on 8/25 9/15 10/6 10/27 11/17
MKTG100.H83... will meet on 9/8 9/29 10/20 11/10 12/8
ECON112.H83… will meet on 9/1 9/22 10/13 11/3 12/1

How does it work?
The typical traditional course presentation is accomplished in what is referred to as the face to face mode. Students attend a scheduled class to receive a lecture/discussion of material, to review the solutions for homework assignments, to take quizzes/tests, and exams. For a three credit course, that would entail meeting for 150 minutes a week during the standard semester.
The hybrid course combines the flexible schedule advantage of an elearning course and the instructor availability of a face to face class. These hybrids have 5 scheduled meetings for discussion of course material. The course schedule is presented in advance so students know when they will be in the classroom and what topic(s) will be discussed. Homework for each chapter and chapter tests are usually accomplished on line using the college’s Bd Vista site and the publisher’s site. Exams are given in the testing center, for your convenience these are usually made available for a full week.
