Have you ever studied a degree online via distance education?
if so how was it, compared to being in a class room?
Right now, I’m going to a technical college with a online degree program. I’m getting my Associates Degree in Business Management. Comparing online classes to the traditional classroom setting is all up to the individual. If you’re and outgoing teen/adult who likes being around people then going to class would be your preference. If you’re more on the shy side and don’t care to experience the true feeling of college then online would be your preference. For me I would prefer online classes. The classes are not and I repeat not easier, in fact they are much more harder than going to class. Online classes are harder because they is no one there to teach you the material. You pretty much and have to teach yourself, but don’t worry the professors are there to answer any questions you may have. From what I’ve read, Online Degrees don’t get much respect being that most people believe that they’re not accredited. Don’t worry about that, online degrees (depending on what college you go to) are in fact accredited. Word of advice, stay away from the University of Phoenix, they have do not have a good reputation. Online classes are very flexible if you have a job or a stay at home parent, but the workload can be heavy at times. I’m into my second semester of college taking all of my classes online and everything seems to be going great. My grades are great and I really do enjoy taking them online. You never have to worry about missing a class, being late, or making sure to make time for that class itself. So, if you’re considering getting your degree online I say go for it. Just make sure you are a good self motivator, motivation is the key for online classes.
