Hello students of the world! Do you enjoy online classes or do
you despise them? Do you find them helpful or a waste of time? I would
say that online class have the best of both worlds.
I enjoy how online classes allow me to reciece credits for classes that cannot take in school. Virtual classes also give you the opportunity to receive grade forgiveness. This means that if a student receives an "F" or a "D" for a class taken at school, he or she has the opportunity to take that class online and receive a better grade that will replace the "F" or "D" permanently off his or her record. Online classes also allow students to take classes over the summer which is good for students who are low on high school credits. Online classes also have their downfalls. One is that they are very self motivated classes and if a student has hard time learning on his or her own then online classes my be a bad choice for that student. I also don't like how the online classes are extremely strict about finishing your course on time. I rather have it where you can work on the course on your own pace. I don't think that a student should take like two years to finish a particular class but I do think that if a student is already at school all day then he or she should be allowed to only do about one or two assignments a week instead of three or four. So I conclude that online classes are amazing yet terrible at the same time.
Nice, I liked the "self motivated" comment because it's so true. It's hard to choose between watching tv/comp and doing online work.
ReplyDeleteBtw, receiving grade forgiveness does not erase the F permanently from your record or transcript. It just shows colleges that you retook the class and got a better grade on it.
Very true! There are pros and cons to online classes. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteWow... I didn't know that online classes override the grades of a physical class :o.
