Question

Lindsay, I actually took a few on line classes while I was in college. They are very convenient, but seem to be alittle harder since you dont have that class time with a teacher. You are pretty much on your own. I would not recommend any MATH, SCIENCES,ENGLISH, OR HISTORY classes. Stick with classes you know you can handle alone. For instance, I took an on line Health class and it was really cool. You do have to go to class at least once or twice during a semester. That is for any exams you may take. They cannot do those on line all the time. Some teachers will, but some schools make you show your face at least once. I suppose since someone else could be doing the course for you and they would never know. My Ex-Husband took an on line English class, and he could not handle it. When there is alot of information to cover within the subject, it can be hard. There are ways you can handle it, by contacting the teacher often, and getting into study groups with folks who are taking the same on line course. Over all, the easy classes are best to take on line. For example, Health, history, computer courses, and maybe some sociology courses. I am sure there are many others that can be easy. Just stay away from English and Math on line courses. Those courses seem to requuire more of one on one teaching terms. If you need to take a harder class on line, be prepared. It can be hard being on your own with a subject you know nothing about. When you go to class for the first time, you get more from what the teacher expects and it seems easier to read what you have to put into the course. On line,you have no way of knowing what is expected in your work, or for the course. If you decide to do it, just make sure the course is well explained on paper for you. If you have questions, ask! Dont think you can do it alone if you cant. That is why you pay the college. To teach you. Goodluck and I hope I could help you alittle.
