This course is mostly reading.  It is fully online and  has stuff due about once every two weeks. Blackboard @ Gaston

Self-paced with a few deadlines. There is a very small  set of assignments, which makes this course very much like the first one. Blackboard @ CPCC

PSYC 310
Fully online, running on a module system with modules running about 2 weeks. Its pretty much quizzes, discussion boards, a research project and a final exam. Blackboard @ UNCFSU

PSYC 421
