Anyone ever taken an online college course?

I'm thinking bout taking some of these as a replacement for actual day to day college attendance.

Question, how did you like the online courses and were they worth the effort to you?

I had a math class that was entirely online freshman year, simply because they didn't offer it any other way.

It was my lowest grade in two years //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

But math isn't the best subject to be taught online, probably depends on what you're taking...

the hardest part about doing an online class is actually taking the time to sit down and read the lesson or take the tests

Well, I'ts not so much, the driving is great, i love to drive! My favorite pastime in fact. But it's the fact that I will continue to waste $$$ on gas in addition to time which I could use for different things.

I took an "Intro to online commmunications" class online. We only had two tests in the class, and both were taken in a classroom (50% written, 50% internet crap).

It was a joke of a class to begin with, so i did ok without really trying too hard. The "homework" assignments were very straightforward so I could do those pretty quickly.

Online courses and either be really easy, or very difficult. Relies heavily on the class being taught.

Look for a onroad offroad dirtbike... You can do more with them (hit some trails) and the cc's are smaller than most street bikes so the insurance is alot less. Not as fast and not as cool- but worth a look.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif dude I need to come visit you someday, I come to chicago alot but most of the time I'm there for only like an hour.

Well, I think I might give online schooling a shot... Gonna be taking business courses only so that should be allright.

Plus if you are a n00b rider a smaller bike will help you learn. If you go out and buy a big *** bike and don't like it or cant ride it because you arent skiled enough, or there is too much power, you are shot. With a dirtbike you can at least use it on the trails if you dont like it on the road. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

An hour isn't nearly enough time to receive full enjoyment out of hanging out with me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
