Experience has proven the most productive classrooms are characterized by:
Selecting motivated students
Encouraging active student participation
Setting high expectations for student performance
Ensuring low student/instructor ratios
Hiring faculty who are well versed in their fields
Allowing flexible instruction
Students are encouraged to carefully review the complete course description section prior to selecting the one course they will study for the three-week session. Some courses have prerequisites. It's the student's responsibility to meet the prerequisite requirement.
As you consider each of the courses, ask yourself these three questions:
Am I eligible (prepared) to take this course?
Does this course fit into my academic interest?
Have I fulfilled the prerequisite for the course?
Each student that completes the program will be given a Certificate of Participation and can earn six units of UCSD Extension credit. An official transcript will be automatically sent to each student at the end of the program. Although most colleges will accept appropriate UCSD Extension credits, the decision to accept the transfer of credits rests solely with the college you attend.
