Welcome to History 493K ONLINE!
The course is a thematic survey of historically
noteworthy religious movements and events in the United
States. To learn more about content materials, visit the
course syllabus.
On-line students experience many of
the same features enjoyed by on-campus students. Students
will participate in reading assignments, threaded
discussions, interactive audio and text-based chats, and
"virtual office hours" in which they may
interact directly with the instructor or a Graduate
Assistant. On-line students also view the same
educational videos that are presented on campus. They
even participate in a "virtual field trip" to
several graveyards in West Virginia. In addition, they
have an option of receiving their course materials in
either text or audio lecture modes.
As is the case with many on-campus
courses, History 493K requires that the student be highly
disciplined and motivated. This course offers
considerable flexibility for the completion of
assignments, yet like students taking American Religious
History at the Morgantown campus, on-line students must
meet certain deadlines in order to complete the course
successfully.
Before registering for this course,
prospective students should respond to this brief questionaire (requires Flash).
