This program is especially designed for the person who can't possibly make it to a classroom module, but comprehends the energy and self-confidence that comes from interacting with an instructor one-on-one! By moving away from the event-based approach to studying, this course allows you the convenience of studying at home, PLUS the Instruction you would get in a Classroom Environment!

We are introducing for the October 2010 semester an entirely redesigned course that integrates the use of Web 2.0 technologies with traditional formal learning methods, making it a true convergence of technology, process and techniques. In redeveloping this course, we did not walk away from fundamental learning methods, instead we are worked hard to provide a learning strategy which offered the best in e-learning and increased interactivity with an instructor. 

All of the questions in the Chapter Review Quizzes, Previous Test Questions, mid-term and final, as well as the questions in the Classification Section are previous exam questions. In the Students Corner you will have every Previous Exam since 2005 along with an Analysis for each question on each exam. In total, you will have the opportunity to go through more than 17 previous exams during this course!

Student Comments on this program.

This is How It Works:

• After you receive your study materials and directions, your lessons will begin in the comfort of your home or office and may be completed as leisurely as you wish. Depending on when you start the course, you can plan on spending 3-6  hours a week studying.  
   

• You will have constant communication and counseling with the teacher.  
  
  

• With our Students Corner you will take end of chapter quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam online. Your results will be automatically submitted to your instructor, who will then contact you with the detailed corrections, discuss with you any problem areas and answer your questions. These tests are strictly voluntary, but this is an excellent way for you to assess your personal strengths and weakness. 
   
  

• With our Students Corner you will have an ONLINE PowerPoint REVIEW of the chapters in your Textbook and Video Lectures, that you can view 24/7 and use as often as you wish to study either at home or in the office.  
  
  

• Your Audio CD's (now also as MP3 files) will provide the information you need to memorize before you go into the test - use them in the car, at home or at work.
   

•  Bulletin Board - so you can communicate with other students across the nation.    
   

• The Review Webinars will finish your studies with a virtual classroom experience. There will be Ten Review Webinars, held three days a week, beginning August 30, 2010, and depending on the number of questions, these Webinars will be 1-2 hours in length. If you miss a Webinar, or want to review one, they will be posted inside your Students Corner. You may have attended a Webinar that was deadly dull and boring, but you will find that the LTS instructors execute a solid innovative and motivating delivery of material. You will have a higher level of self-confidence, when you take the exam, after attending these Webinars.  
   

• You set your own schedule for completion! You can finish in one month, two months or three months or...? You can do five lessons a week or none. Fit the program to your lifestyle as long as it is completed and the final test sent in before October 1, 2010!
