Farleigh Dickinson University core requirement: Logging on - BRIAN KLADKO

After a semester of intense discussions, Laura Schwendeman, a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University, has come to know her classmates from Core 106: The Global Challenge pretty well. She just can't recognize any of them. All the work for Core 106, a mandatory course for all FDU students, is done online. So she knows them only as names floating on her laptop's flat screen. For some FDU students, it's a liberating experience - "going to class" whenever they choose, being able to think before answering a professor's question. Others find the experience a little frustrating, because of technological glitches or the lack of face-to-face interaction.
