About
the Video: Curious about online courses? This video offers a peek into
COM 200: Intro to Communication taught by Kimberly Laux. The format for
this course is online asynchronous; that means it does not meet
virtually at a specific day/time (although there are still deadlines
that must be met). The video describes how this particular course is
organized and the kinds of content students will find in their weekly
learning modules.
