Directed Learning Courses

Clark State Community College is a leader in providing students with alternative methods of instructional delivery. Directed learning courses provide a convenient alternative to the traditional classroom. Directed learning courses are self-paced courses except that class work must be completed on Clark State's campus using the provided Directed Learning Lab and its resources. You enroll and progress through the course in a cohort with fellow students, following an established calendar of assignments. As long as you meet the established deadlines for contributions, you can participate at times convenient for you.

Directed Learning Course Characteristics

• There are specified enrollment periods and completion deadlines. You need to complete the coursework in one quarter.
  
• Generally, most directed learning classes meet in person. You will contribute to the class at times convenient for you and during the Directed Learning Lab's hours of operation, but you will need to meet established deadlines for assigned activities and the availability of on-campus laboratories.
  
• There are no minimum number of contact hours required.
  
• You will do much coursework independently, using textbooks and other materials. You and your instructor exchange assignments directly.
  
• Some courses may require proctored exams. For information on where and when you may take proctored exams, see specific course details.
