The Math ―L-Series‖ provides math instruction in a series of eight-week tiered hybrid
courses. Students spend four hours per week in class supplemented by several hours per
week of online computer work. The pace is slower than in a regular lecture class and
provides more opportunities for individualized instruction. According to instructors, these lab
courses have had significantly higher success rates than the self-paced laboratories used
previously. (II.A.53)
The ADJ Fast-Track Degree Program enables students to complete requirements for the
Associate of Science degree in Administration of Justice in three semesters and one
intersession or summer session. Classes are six weeks long and are offered fully on-line.
