   It depends. do u feel ur brain hurt? If so, then ur on the right track. Skool sux, go boarding!

   I’m mostly kidding. School can be, well, not very fun. But if u are taking classes online, then u don’t have to listen to teachers talking!! Lucky!

   Online classes can work for people who are very motivated, who don’t need much direction from a professor, and who don’t mind not having the interaction with others in a classroom.

   I teach some distance ed classes, and many students like it. The students who do tend to be students who are working and going to school at the same time, are older and have been out of school, and have specific vocational goals for the classes. Students in our traditional age program have not liked it as well, miss the interaction and social experience that is a growth experience in the traditional college age group.

   If you are taking classes on line try to take them at the best institution that you can. Try to take it at an established university or college that doesn’t just do online classes (those that have a traditional campus as well as distance education) and make sure the college is regionally accredited (not just accredited by the Home Study or Distance Education Association, accreditation by whom does not give assurance that the college is considered the same as other colleges.

   When you are looking at an online program, ask the college what their graduation rate is and what their students do after they are graduated.

   So, the answer is more complex than yes or no. It depends on what you are looking for, what the type of school is, and what you are more comfortable with.

   Good luck!

   Uh, I would look up the stats on the online school, just like I would do with a regular school.

   Some of my mom’s college courses are online, and some are on cable TV, and one she went the first day to pick up a syllabus, they gave her all the work, and she has to get it in by May something.
