DO you or have you taken any courses online? Do you find them to be harder or easier than taking in class courses? I am currently taking accounting, human physiology, and speed spanish....

I study online at the moment. I started half a year ago, and I really like it. I have a lot of freedom and I can study whenever I choose. It think that is great. When I am busy which other things during the day I can study at night, and if I am going out at night I can study during the day. I also like the fact that I don't have to go to school every day. I live in a village in the countryside and it would get pretty expensive if I had to pay for gas or bus fares every day. I save a lot of money by studying at home.

I like online courses. I'm finishing up my B.S. in Green Management & Sustainability. I start my Master's program next year, and I'll be doing almost all of that online. I think taking courses online forces you to be more self managed. Plus, if you're working around a tight schedule it lends itself to a a lot more flexibility. Is your physiology course Anatomy & Physiology? When I had it we were required a bunch of lab hours. I took lecture and lab back to back on campus. It helped, and really cut down on the study hours. There are just some classes (core sciences, Calculus 1&2) that I would really want to be in lecture for. Other than that you can sign me up for P.J. classes all day long. I love assignments I can do in a bathrobe!

I tried getting my bridal consultant license/certificate/thingy online but about halfway through the course, my fiance broke off our engagement. Made it really hard to concentrate on planning other people's weddings when mine had just gotten canceled so I quit. I've been thinking of trying again though.

I am also planning to take causes online. Comparing taking courses in class, I think it will be harder for me to master the knowledge, anyway, it's more flexible, and time saving.
