Class Formats & Choosing Classes
One of the most exciting parts of college is picking your classes. Use these Keys to Success to help you register for classes that fit your strengths and your needs.
1. See the big picture when it comes to your schedule. Did you, for example, schedule chemistry and calculus back-to-back? That could be exhausting. Think about your schedule as a whole.
2. Think carefully about online classes. Online classes are convenient, but they require you to be incredibly self-motivated and independent. It can be easy to get behind. Waiting a semester before trying an online class is recommended for most students.
3. Decide on a major within the first two semesters at Roane State so you don’t take unnecessary courses, especially if you plan to transfer to a four-year institution.
4. Plan your entire schedule. Go ahead and make an academic plan for your entire time at Roane State.
In the classroom, on the Web, or somewhere in between, classes at Roane State are offered in a variety of formats.
Traditional classes
Teachers and students meet face-to-face in a classroom setting.
Web classes
These classes take place entirely online. Most classes use Momentum, a Web-based course manager that contains your syllabus, test/quizzes, discussion boards, and course content. They may use online or proctored testing.
Hybrid classes
These classes are a combination of Web and face-to-face meetings. They may use online or proctored testing.
Interactive video classes
These classes take advantage of video conferencing technology to bring multiple campuses together at once. For example, your instructor may be at the Roane County campus, but you and your classmates may be sitting in a classroom on another campus.
Accelerated classes
These fast-paced classes typically meet only one night a week. There are three sessions of these courses to a term.
TN eCampus
These are very similar to Roane State Web classes, except that your instructor may be from another Tennessee college or university. It is possible to get an entire degree by taking TN eCampus courses. There is an additional fee associated with these courses. They may use online or proctored testing.
Success Coach
All incoming students are assigned a Success Coach. Your Success Coach is your personal guide to help you during your first year of college. Please communicate with your Success Coach, and please respond when your Success Coach contacts you. Check your Raidenet account to find your Success Coach. https://www.roanestate.edu/?11056-Success-Coaches
