Blog Reflection 1

As I mentioned before this is my 2nd online course and I am enjoying it this one as much as my 1st one.

I have already recommended online courses to many people – family, friends, and co-workers. My hubby is considering getting his Master’s degree and I have told him “make sure you can do most of it through online courses!” I’m only (half) joking. He is very computer literate/savvy so I know he would have no problem but there are some people in my life that I told to stay away from online classes. These are the people with zero to little computer skills.

You definitely need to be more self motivated for online courses – for instance, you don’t have a professor in your face reminding you of when assignments are due.

My hubby’s sister-in-law is a professor and in the fall she will be teaching a hybrid online course. This is her first one and she asked me for input. I told her how much I love never having to miss work to attend class; or fighting traffic to get to school; or fighting for a parking spot or having to give yourself 15 or 20 minutes to walk from your car to class. Of course, she will have to deal with the technical aspects of teaching an online class.

In review online classes are a big YES for me.
