Anyone here taken any? I'm in the process of taking a Geography course online just to get it out of the way and it looks like a push over. The quizzes are multiple choice and there are periodic short essay questions. Over all not challenging at all. Of course, I'm just knocking it out of the way. It just seems odd to me not going to a class and feel like I'm getting credit for it. I took my first quiz lounging on the couch.

I took a literature course online to get a gen ed requirement out of the way. It was crap because we'd post our essays to the messageboard instead of emailing them to the professor, so everybody tried to out-wank each other even more than usual.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Yeah, light IT Courses, History course, and English Courses all online. Much the same way. I'm nto sure how you did the quiz part(if it's multiple choice), any tests had to be done at the campus and be proctored for me.Originally posted by Sprayber View Post
Writing essays, banging out a IT related HW, etc. could be done at home.
I couldn't bring myself to try to take a Math course online, though.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

I think that online is good for people who have to work or something and couldn't get a 'standard' education.
It isn't ideal thuogh.

You need discussion though.
Posting on a message board or stupid forum teaches you nothing... plus you generally get trollsComment

Hell, I was alarmed by him talking about doing his quiz from his couch. I suspect that "real" institutions that have some online courses(like Community Colleges, 4-year public universities) are the ones that don't let that fly.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward.

I've had several non-online courses with associated forums, and never encountered any trolling - only people registered for the course could post. Take away somebody's anonymity and you hamper their ability to troll.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment
