Being an online student.

I like taking my class on line. I'm a stay at home mom and it helps that I can be at home with my kids when I have no one around to help watch them for me to go off to a class. Even if my kids sit with me and the dinner table eating while I take my class, it makes it make easier. I have a much more flexible schedule doing college on line.  I like that I still have due dates and certain times to have assignments in, because it helps to get everything done. I feel if were left to get our assignments in on our own time, assignments would get forgotten about and either not turned in or turned in way late. I like that we still have class (seminars) that we can listen to a live person and ask questions if we have any. Also helps to get to know your class mates and figure out exactly what your professor wants done on the assignments for that unit. Having the ability to be able to leave an assignment or project and be able to come back at a later time, is extremely helpful in so many ways. Even if my child gets sick, I can still be at my class or get my homework done, while holding my baby and caring for my child. I know it's been said taking college on line is the easy way out or you don't learn as much as you could if you went an actual building and in person sat in class. In my opinion, I learn the same amount as I would in an on base class. It seems to take more time to read and understand how to do projects and homework, since we don't have someone we can go to right away in person and specify everything. In all I'm happy with my choice to be an online student and plan to continue my schooling to further my career.
