Additional Note
Many
of WTCS courses are intensive/ concentrated. These intensive courses
(two credit hours) entail 24 hours of classroom lectures and
examinations on the material covered in the class sessions (including
quizzes, take home examinations, take home assignments, and final
examination), with or without other writing assignments depending on
the professors.
​
- These intensive courses allow the school to utilize visiting professors who otherwise would not spare time to teach.
- Due to this unique situation, the school is able to admit new student year-round, allowing a student to begin his/ her study in the middle of semester without missing any part of lectures which are scheduled later than his/ her arrival.
- However, it is recommended that each student begins his/ her study from the beginning of the semester so as to keep up with the class schedules which are offered at particular times only.
- The sequence of the courses to be taken could vary depending on the time and the semester of the year the student begins.
