Online summer courses offer students the opportunity to earn course credit and expand educational knowledge – all while sitting at a computer!
Houghton’s summer session is eight weeks in length, running from June 4 through July 30, 2012.
All of Houghton's online courses are developed and taught by Houghton College faculty, who are dedicated, experienced educators known for integrating their Christian faith with their outstanding scholarship, teaching and expertise. Houghton's online course content is designed and delivered to meet the same high standards as courses offered in our traditional classroom-based format.
The core of Houghton College’s online courses is the creation of a dynamic learning community that is based on student engagement with each other and with a faculty member. Online discussion and collaboration using Moodle, the college’s course management system, are crucial elements in that engagement. Moodle will also be the main vehicle through which you will access class materials and assignments.
The method of delivering tests and exams will vary from course to course, but many may be administered electronically through Moodle. (Note: Online courses will have the same letter grading scale as traditional classroom courses; the specific grading criteria for each course will be outlined in the course syllabus.) You will apply your skills at independent learning as you perform research using the extensive array of online databases offered by the Willard J. Houghton Library.
