Your Professor
Your professor is an experienced instructor from one of the 34 universities and colleges of the University System of Georgia. In addition to your course the professor probably is teaching regular courses on some campus. Many of the professors have experience teaching online courses. For others it will be their first time.
Your Classmates
Your classmates may be your next door neighbor or someone who lives at the other end of the state. You will interact with your classmates and professor using email, chat rooms, file exchange and a variety of other tools provided by WebCT.
