The telecourses are often a challenge for part-time students. Celeste Price, 29, a full-time tax clerk for Kentucky Fried Chicken in Louisville, is taking the PBS American government course for three credits at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, 105 miles away. She watches the telecasts on Tuesday and Thursday at 11 p.m., when her four-year-old son is asleep. Though she misses the interaction of a class, she finds college by telecourse exciting. Admits Price: "I didn't think there would be as much homework or that it would be this hard."
