LIR 110 is designed for the student who would like to become a more effective online researcher.  For more details, see the syllabus.

This course will be taught online.  Online students need to have access to a reliable computer with an Internet connection, as well as Microsoft Word (students living near the Cuyamaca College campus have access to a computer lab with this equipment).  To determine if online learning is right for you, take a look at How This Online Class Works.
