all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of
direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires

writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues
prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.
