Distance learning? Never heard of it. , Z8 @9 D6 q9 y% v$ E: p) ~ Well， it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on else where. Yesterday， over a hundred students signed up.! d$ Q& i& ?9 c. ^

It's an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations. + d1 p4 O1 u; O6 x6 b Don't you ever have to meet with professor?考试用书1 ^4 A& E8 `# V5 A+ ~2 H
