College on line class question.
For those of you who have taken on line classes how hard are they compared to going to a class? In my usual fashion of leaving everything til the last minute one of the classes I wanted to take is full. Its a basic biology class. TIA!!

Re: College on line class question.
i looooved it
i took several
i think the coursework and reading is a little more but thats bc theres no scheduled meeting times...
As long as you keep up with the syllabus, it should be a breeze
my sis, on the other hand, took one once and had to withdraw bc she had no discipline

I loved it b/c it was on my time!!! I would get up earlier and do the work!! YOu have to be very disciplined or you won't do well.

Re: College on line class question.
I thought it was easier because I didn't have to listen to a prof. drone on during a lecture! but they usually involve more reading and writing.
i am doing my doctoral dissertation on the topic of distance ed., and people do the worst in math and science classes online.

Re: College on line class question.
I've found that it really depended on the professor........I've had some classes that were a breeze and others that were a total overload of work.... Try using ratemyprofessor.com..... it always helps me...........GL

That makes a lot of sense - I can vouch that taking my first stats class online was a terrifying experience. I love online courses, but math and stats online turned out to be a nightmare.

I took a few science classes on line and they were SO hard compared to an English class I took online, which was also a lot of work, but not nearly as difficult.

Re: College on line class question.
I actually found it tougher because with online classes, you have to participate for every forum whereas if you are in class, you may get away with a quick question or observation. Your forum responses tend to me long, dragged out and then you have to read everyone else's.
It wouldn't prevent me from taking another, but I never had one that was a true "breeze" like i thought it would be.

Re: College on line class question.
Take all the opinions on ratemyprof...with a grain of salt. My prof for this semester had ratings all over the board but he ended up being amazing.
