Online Courses
Distance learning can offer many rewards for students; however, challenges exist in making the experience successful. The information in this section is designed to maximize your chances for having a successful experience with online courses at Coffeyville Community College.
Are Online Classes right for me?
- Do you enjoy the challenge of independent learning?
- Do you communicate effectively through written communication?
- Do you need flexibility in your class schedule?
- Are you self-motivated to meet class deadlines?
- Do you feel that your personality lends itself to being organized?
If you are able to answer "yes" to all of the above questions, then Coffeyville Community College's online course offerings may be right for you. The online class experience does offer the student the flexibility of accessing the course and course subject matter at convenient times and locations. However, this convenience does come at the price of daily face to face communication, explanations, reminders, etc. that you would receive in the classical classroom setting. CCC's online classes are not for everybody, only those individuals with the combination of strong study skills and a motivation to succeed will be successful.
