Online school?

Thinking about going back to school and taking a class online. Is anyone doing this or done it in the past? What are some of the good and bad points about it? Thanks for the info.

I've taken online classes at my college (UNT), but nothing like an online college like from tv commercials. In my experience there's a lot more work on a weekly basis, but the work is easier and not graded as harshly...versus in a classroom, where there's little to no work, but the grading is much harder and you have little room to mess up a test since there's so few grades. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I've taken quite a few at NEU. No real downside (except cost). Just make sure you
allow time to do all the work. Be sure to read each syllabus closely, and submit everything before the deadlines. Good Luck!

Done it. Its great. I went to Liberty University. Its fully accredited. but its a "private school" meaning its founded by a religious organization, so if that doesn't interest you I thought I'd tell you,. i'm taking grad school from there right now

I've been consistently taking an online class or two every semester. the classes have all been alright, a few were indeed graded easier.

the only real difficulty with online classes is if you do need help its harder to get it, since you never really speak with your teacher, and making sure you are motivated enough to do it. dont put it off til the last minute and just ration your time well
