Summer and Fall 2021 Class Formats
We are offering several types of classes for summer and fall semesters. Find your class format on your class schedule.
CON
Conventional Courses
Courses meet “face-to-face” for lecture and/or lab instruction; however, some course materials/activities may be online and require some Internet access. Online components may include access to course content, course notes, resources, and assessments. Times and room numbers will be listed and provided in students' schedules.
ONLINE
WS Web-Based Courses
WS Web-based (ONLINE) courses provide the opportunity to complete coursework via the Internet and eLEARN. Online courses are a good choice for self-motivated, self-directed students who need a flexible course schedule. To complete all requirements for these courses, students must have reliable Internet access via a DSL or higher broadband connection. Students may access the Internet through campus WiFi and computer facilities at the college’s library on the Morristown, Niswonger, and Sevierville campus, or anywhere else they have Internet access. The college is not responsible for obtaining or maintaining students’ individual equipment or software for accessing the Internet.

HYB
Hybrid Courses
Hybrid Courses (HYB) follow traditional meeting schedules in addition to offering students the opportunity to complete a portion of the coursework via the Internet and eLEARN. Hybrid classes are good choices for students who need to limit the number of trips to campus, but also prefer some face-to-face contact with classmates and the instructor. Students may access the Internet through campus WiFi and computer facilities at the college’s library on the Morristown, Niswonger, and Sevierville, campuses or anywhere else they have Internet access. The College is not responsible for obtaining or maintaining students’ individual equipment or software for accessing the Internet.

TWY
Video Streaming Courses
Video streaming courses (TWY) follow traditional class meeting schedules, while providing students the opportunity to attend class sessions at one of Walters State’s four campuses (Claiborne, Niswonger, Morristown, or Sevierville). Video streaming courses are good choices for students who may be unable to travel to multiple campuses. Instructors deliver instruction from one of the four campuses to students at one or more of the other campuses. Students are able to interact in real-time with the instructor and students at the other sites via video streaming technology.
DVC
Desktop Video Courses
Desktop Video Courses (DVC) follow traditional meeting schedules as described in the Schedule Planner and the course syllabus through virtual meeting platforms. Desktop Video classes are a good choice for students who need to take classes off campus but also need the structure of the classroom environment. To complete all requirements for these courses, students have reliable access to the Internet via a DSL or higher broadband connection. Minimum requirements include: a computer with a webcam, a speaker, and a microphone, or students will need a tablet. A USB headset with microphone and ear buds are recommended for use with mobile devices.
