Videocassette Courses

   Videotapes will be checked out to students for the semester.
Instead of attending regular classes on campus, videocassette course students view three 30-minute programs each week on their television sets at home, have assigned readings in textbooks and study guides, and take exams administered on campus. Courses may also have written assignments.
   For Videocassette courses, videotapes for the entire semester will be checked out to students at the beginning of the semester. These programs are not broadcast on Channel 8 or HCC-TV, and the tapes are not at the libraries.
 
 

  All distance education students, both new and returning, are required to attend an orientation session for each course they take. At the orientation session, the students meet the instructor and receive course information, as well as information on precedures. Some orientations will be available on-line at the web site  www.distance.hccs.edu
  Review sessions are held by the instructor before each exam.  Attendance is optional.
  The campus attended for orientations may be different from the campus for review sessions and testing.
