Please help. are online classes good?
Question:
Answer:
The first poster answered the question well.
But I wanted to ask my personal perspective on this.
I have taken college classes both ways and I have to say although I liked the convience of online classes I dont feel like I really learned anything. I also felt as if lectures were replaced by busy work such as writing definitions and so on, so I felt there was a serious lacking in the area of content learning.
Maybe it depends on your learning style and class.
I was taking psych classes as online classes and I really like psych and so I felt disappointed it what I ended up with. Grade wise they were easy A's. Anyway I like to discuss theories and such dealing with psych yet with online there was none of that.
Had it been something I didnt care about I probably would have actually preferred the non-interaction. English classes for example is a class I could easily and happily do online because its all writing.
Online courses are just as legitimate in most cases as regular classroom courses, but make sure you are taking them from a trusted source such as a local university or college, or a well known online university such as University of Phoenix.
There are many "diploma mills" out there! Be wary of any online school site that does not have a .edu extension, as they were not approved for the .edu domain.
online education is getting to be very popular, more and more people cannot stop thier lives to attend school
The college courses and degrees do count...it's expensive but they are great for a person who can't travel to school,due to work schedules, or other time constraints..but it does require time and the courses are not easier...you have to stay focused and complete assignments, papers etc. on a timely basis.
