Re: Online Courses
I think online classes are great for people who are self disciplined to study and work on their own. Also you have to be decent with the computer usage.
I have taken several classes online and I find them much more convenient and easier than taking online classes.
Make sure you have a good , relatively new computer and back up your school work everyday. Or even after every change.
Keep your assingment name very clear etc etc.
Over all, online classes, have assignments just like the ordinary class, usually the same kind of exams and quizes as the ordinary face to face classes and in some cases live discussions in chat type environment.
Re: Online Courses
I'm taking online courses currently and most of the lectures are done through chats on webct and the use of PDF files. They are simple to me. However, the drawback for online courses is that you do not get enough feedback on your assignments and the tests are not returned.
Re: Online Courses
I am starting online classes from Feb too, I think They are much easier, but they will be a difference , because if u like visual learning than School is the best place, but if ur both, then it might be help ful........
Re: Online Courses
Try the George washington univeristy, or the uni of phoenix, if u are in England the uni of london has some brilliant courses that are part distance and part campus based.
Re: Online Courses
I took one and i just couldn't discipline myself to study and for online classes u have to be able to study on your own with will (i had a hard time with that) and onlne classes come equipped with a heavy workload compared to regular classes. Good luck with yours n try saving ur work as much as you can.
Re: Online Courses
yeah i kinda didnt end up registering for it. i dont have much time to myself as it is, and an "online course" will only tempt me to give more hrs at work cuz id feel that i can do my skool work later. khair next time.
thanxs anyways :)
