RE: I see no difference between the quality of the online classes versus in class
Do you get to ask questions if you don’t understand something?
I am currently doing 4 courses this summer into fall. One of them we have to log in for a chat with the class each week and discuss the questions presented to us. Then we have to attach a written “paper” from what we got from our reading assignments. If we have questions during the course we can send them to the professor if we are not in the chat room. One is an easy-peasy one to get my license to teach in AZ transferred from out of state. I like the idea that I can do these in the summer when I am off instead of trekking to a college at night or Saturdays during the school year.
Oh yes. The teachers use blackboard and they are also very flexible about using private email if you have questions or need any help.
The online class I took last semester was “Terrorism and National Security” (I passed with an A+, btw.)In the wake of the NSA scandal and how they track your emails I’m expecting a knock on my door anytime now.
