Quote:Self-Directed Courses
Self-Directed online courses provide an opportunity for students to learn independently. Like our e-Pack® courses, students have the freedom to move through the course independently at a pace they control. Students are given all of the tools needed to complete the course without supervision. Therefore, Self-Directed courses foster a self-reliant learning experience where students work through the content provided in the course completely autonomously.

Hmm, anyone know just in case, where the 1 credit courses are listed? I can't seem to find it on their website.
Maybe I should do another search by courses and just look at the credit column. Anyways....
