All core curriculum courses in the state of Texas must meet a set of general education guidelines. Throughout the course you will engage in activities meant to test your ability to communicate and think critically.

Perhaps the most important factor in passing any college course is personal responsibility. This includes actions like showing up for class on time or logging in to your online class each day, buying the necessary books and materials for class, participating in collaborative work, maintaining communication with instructors and submitting work on time.
The online environment poses some special challenges in the area of personal responsibility. Because we do not meet on campus regularly, it becomes even more critical that you remain connected and engaged.
