Course Detail Sheets

The Course Details Sheet is the best way to get information about your Distance Education course.

The Course Details Sheet for each course is available by visiting the Courses, selecting a semester, department, and then selecting a course from the listing. You will see a link to the right of each course for the Course Details Sheet.

Each Course Details Sheet includes the following information:

Course Description

The full University course description.

What delivery formats are used for the course. For example: Internet, CD-ROM, or NC-REN Network.

Attendance Requirements

On occasion, a course may require that you come to NC State's Campus or another facility. This section of the Course Details Sheet will clearly spell out any attendance requirement that a course has.

Course Materials

Any books, course packs, or media that is required for a course. There may also be some materials listed that are recommended but not required.

Course URL

The instructor provides us with a URL for the course. This page often has the syllabus, course content, lectures, etc. This is the best place to get started with your course once you are registered.

Instructor Contact Information

One of the keys to being a successful Distance Education student is maintaining contact with your instructors. We highly encourage you to contact your instructors at the beginning of the semester via telephone, mail, fax, e-mail or even personal visits. Keep in mind that there are many students involved and the instructors rely on you to maintain contact. All of the contact information for your instructor can be found on the Course Details Sheet.
