Melissia Anson's blog ::Online Education - How You Can Benefit From Taking Online Courses











There               is               a               difference               between               taking               an               online               college               class               and               taking               and               online               college               class.

If               this               simple               statement               makes               sense               to               you,               then               you               have               probably               taken               one               before.

If               you               are               scratching               your               head,               then               you               should               do               a               bit               more               research               before               you               challenge               what               an               online               college               class               has               to               offer.
To               be               fair,               I               have               never               taken               a               campus               course;               rather,               all               my               college               classes               have               been               online.

Speaking               from               my               experience               from               this               learning               venue,               I               can               say               in               some               ways               it's               the               best               method               of               learning,               and               in               others,               it               can               make               you               nearly               fail.

This               last               semester,               I               was               so               distracted               that               I               almost               failed               2               of               my               classes,               which               I               attributed               mainly               to               these               classes               being               online.

Why?

Because               first               and               foremost,               online               classes               are               never               independent               study,               unless               specifically               stated               otherwise.

This               means               daily               and               weekly               assignments               are               due,               and               since               you               don't               have               a               class               schedule               to               physically               adhere               to,               you               can               miss               assignments               so               incredibly               easy               you               don't               even               remember               you               have               them               until               3               hours               past               the               deadline               (waking               up               in               a               cold               sweat-               literally).

This               happened               to               me               this               last               semester,               because               hunting               season               took               priority-               I               missed               4               macroeconomic               assignments,               and               3               assignments               in               math.

I               just...forgot.

Had               I               had               to               physically               be               in               class,               would               I               have               been               hunting               every               single               day?

No.

Not               without               repercussion.

Lesson               to               be               learned               is               this-               online               classes               mean               online               attendance,               plain               and               simple.

If               you               cannot               discipline               yourself               to               attend               your               online               classes               and               dedicate               time               to               them               like               you               would               a               normal               classroom,               then               just               go               to               class.

Otherwise,               you'll               miss               half               your               semester,               risk               getting               kicked               out               of               the               course               by               your               instructor,               and               even               if               you               do               pass,               you'll               have               cheated               yourself               out               of               actually               learning               a               majority               of               the               course.

I've               learned               my               lesson,               but               I               also               suffered               a               huge               ding               in               my               GPA.

The               plus               to               online               classes,               however,               is               the               freedom               of               study-               for               the               most               part.

Yes,               you               have               assignments               due               by               midnight               on               such-and-such               date,               but               other               than               that,               your               study               time               (and               time               in               general)               is               yours.

Aside               having               to               take               tests               at               campus,               your               schedule               is               very               flexible.

This               allows               a               person               to               maintain               a               full-time               job               or               go               hunting               for               days               on               end               (ha).

This               freedom               obviously               comes               at               a               price               if               abused,               as               stated               above,               but               online               classes               are               a               godsend               if               you               want               education               but               lack               free               time               to               follow               a               strict               class               schedule.

Another               bust               about               online               classes-               your               instructors               will               not               allow               a               computer               crash               to               be               an               excuse               for               missing               assignments.

Since               computers               seem               to               magically               come               down               with               viruses               during               the               semester               only               (mine               has               crashed               twice),               you               need               to               have               a               backup               plan-               be               it               your               college               campus,               local               library,               or               a               friend's               computer,               in               the               offchance               your               computer               craps               the               bed.

If               you               tend               to               be               on               the               social               side,               then               online               classes               may               be               a               big               no-no               turnoff               for               you               as               well.

Sitting               for               hours               on               end               doing               homework               assignments               hunched               over               a               computer               does               not               a               good               time               make.

If               you               need               to               be               around               other               people               to               suffer               with               you,               then               go               to               a               campus               class.

Another               thing               that               people               fail               to               realize               about               online               classes               (though               not               a               bad               thing,               not               by               any               means)               is               this-               your               instruction               time               and               your               homework               time               are               all               on               that               dang               computer.

This               means               you               will               spend               an               average               of               2               hours               a               day               per               course               on               that               computer,               because               you               don't               have               an               instructor               to               cram               it               into               an               hour               lecture               for               you.

Online               classes               require               twice               as               much               study               as               regular               classes               do.

You               will               notice               this               if               you               take               one               online               class               and               have               the               rest               of               them               be               on               campus.

Imagine               being               a               full-time               online               student?

It               wears               you               out.

In               the               end,               online               classes               are               not               for               everyone.

They               are               all               I               know,               and               I               abuse               the               privelege               even               with               my               experience               with               them.

While               they               can               be               highly               beneficial               in               trying               to               accomplish               daily               life               on               top               of               going               to               school,               online               classes               are               not               an               easy               right.

Should               you               take               an               online               class?

That               is               up               to               you.
