Anyone going to school online?
« on: June 04, 2013, 05:04:14 pm »
Does anyone else do classes online. I do and am enjoying it. If you do where do you go and do you like it?

I am a student majoring in Accounting and minoring in Information Systems at Ashford University, and have taken the entire course online since June 2009.  Some people say they don't like it, but I love it. :heart: :heart: :heart: :wave:

I remember when I had to take online Math and English classes in college, and I did not like it. I also was not motivated enough, and always waited for the last day to do the work.

I've taken online classes in the past while I was physically going to college, and I really like them. It was so much easier for me to study on my schedule.

I take the majority of my classes online through a local college. I really only have to go to campus for some tests and labs.

Several years back I picked up my Comp Sci degree online at Lakeland (Kaplan) College.  I had gotten degrees at University or WI earlier in life.  The comp sci degree was to supplement my resume as our contract was under review, and at the time I didn't have 10 years experience in my field if I had to look for a new job, so I decided to get the degree online.

I liked the experience.  This university worked on a trimester, so I only had about a month break between sessions and had to stay focused during the summer study.  On the whole, most classes were easy for me to learn, as I had been doing the work professionally for a while, plus I'm very self-disciplined to get the assignments and required postings completed.  This university does have local campuses as they do in class as well as blended classes (half online/half in class).  I was required to go to a local office to take my mid-term and final exams.

I found if you have a good teacher leading the online classes, you can learn a lot - one just needs to be disciplined enough to do your assignments.

I got my Associate's on campus and my Bachelor's and Master's online, now I'm going after my PhD online but I'm going to transfer universities first.  I hope to be I'm going to be an online professor among other career aspirations.

I always say technology is one of the best things invented; if used properly it can be used to upgrade our lives in so many ways.

I enjoy online classes but I have a cousin who was a straight A student on campus and pulling Cs online with the same university and I have a friend that just wasn't disciplined enough to put herself on a schedule to have everything turned in on time so it's for some people and others it's not but I, fortunately, can do on or offline.
