I was recently asked what was the best thing about taking classes over the Internet?
I personally love the fact that if my children or husband need me right away, I would be able to stop my school work and return to it where I had left off. Whether I step a way for a minute, or 7 hours, I can return to the exact spot I had stopped at.
I can also go at my pace in reading the material, and if I have to read it over again, I can. In a regular class, the teacher sometimes flies right though the material. At times, you may feel lost and even feel like you are falling behind in class. If after re-reading and you still feel lost, you can always e-mail or call your instructor and talk one on one about your situation. You can even go into your class chat room and ask your classmates for help, if you want.
There are so many different reasons why I love taking classes over the Internet that I can not pick just one. I can say that taking classes through the Internet is suitable for you if you have a job or children, and you still want the freedom of studying at your own pace. You learn how to manage your time to get your homework done, and you really learn self discipline. I was never too good in high school. I was an average student pulling "C's" and sometimes a sad "D". At this time in college, I am an "A" and "B" student.
I feel lost every time that Christmas break comes around and there is no homework. I still check in to class just to make sure there is nothing posted from the instructor.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
