learning, as specified by the faculty of Wharton County Junior College, regardless of who teaches the course, the
timeframe by which it is instructed, or the instructional method by which the course is delivered. It is not intended to
restrict the manner by which an individual faculty member teaches the course but to be an administrative tool to aid in the
