Information on Online Course Requirements
Most often, any work done by students using OpenCourseWare (OCW) can be done at
their own pace and will not be considered for academic credit or graded. Some co
mputer science courses may require advanced proficiency in computer language pro
gramming and mathematics, while others don't assume any prior computer-related s
tudy.
Some courses even provide resources for extra help, such as tutoring and forums.
While many OCW courses supply ample course materials, including video, audio, W
eb content, slides, notes, music, demos and software, often times certain materi
al and facilities can be unavailable to OCW students. Though not required, stude
nts may wish to purchase this material to enhance their learning experience.
