it is better but it is very hard to stay restricted since you dont have to go to class. you have to force yourself to sit down at the notebook and treat it like you were going to class. it is pretty cool tho
It’s very excellent and fascinating but it’s also very hard because you have to remember that you have class online and you have to be able to focus by yourself. Some professors use interactive chatrooms during the classes and they’ll give you some online tests and assets to study from.
If you are a excellent reader and you are self-restricted AND the course is well-designed, then I’d say it’s a excellent thing.
(Edit: Please be able to write!)
I’ve taken courses online, I’ve taken a course in how to teach online, and I’ve educated in the classroom for 26 years.
Honestly, some of the exercises to get us to interact and “form a community” fell flat on their faces. And there isn’t the sort of on-the-spot responsibility you have in a face-to-face situation.
I reckon there are things that happen in the classroom that won’t outside. But, for some students, those things that happen from real time interaction don’t happen in the classroom, either.
I don’t reckon an online class is as excellent as the best face-to-face class. Then again, I’ve been a student in enough face-to-face classes where it didn’t really matter if I was there or not. An online class would have been a major step up from those.
Not too specific, maybe, but I hope this helps.
I reckon that going to teach online is simpler in the sense that it offers you more flexibility. I’m currently enrolled at an online university and I’m starting classes in a couple of weeks, but I’m also an admissions advisor for that university, so I hear in this area the experiences from alot of my students. The general concensus is that it’s “simpler” to do if you’re busy, but you really need to be self-motivated. Your best bet is to come up with a time management plot before you commence so you can see how much time you can devote to it. Some universities have requirements for how often you need to log on, so knowing what kind of time requirements you have will make the search and pronouncement on a teach alot simpler.
It can be a small overwhelming at first, I won’t lie, mainly if this is your first time responsibility it. You need to find a teach with fantastic departments and support services because there are going to be times when you need help and you need to know what’s available to you and when. Also, make sure that the curriculum is made available to you so you know just so what classes you’re going to be taking.
The most vital thing though is accredidation. I cannot stress this enough. If you go to a teach that is not qualified, then you probably should reckon very carefully in this area whether or not you want to attend there because alot of schools are simply diploma mills and you don’t want to spend your time and money on something that is not going to be worth anything in the real planet.
Basically, online learning can be a very clear experience but it’s up to you to do the research and question all the questions you have because you need to make sure you’re making the right pronouncement. Education is invaluable, and you want to know that you’re getting the best education possible for the money. Excellent luck, I hope you find what you’re looking for!
if u r busy with service than on line is excellent.
