Well there are a lot of programs and sites that offers online classes or lessons. But it is really worth it??.. I am not against it but does it have the guts to have a quality learning as in normal classes?. For me i still prefer normal classes ..and online classes should be done if there was just an emergency or something important happening. How about you??

I am studying online at the moment, and I think that there are both good and bad things about it. I love the freedom that I have, and I love the fact that I am able to plan everything on my own. It is also a lot cheaper for me to study this way, because I live in a village in the countryside and if I had to study at a school, I would have to spend a lot of money on gas or bus fares. There are many positive things, but I sometimes miss meeting to my classmates and my teachers in person instead of communicating via emails, and online classes can get a little lonely sometimes.

My brother finished his degree online. Then went to Philly where his actual graduation took place. Many of the online classes are from reputable schools. It just depends how much research a person does 1st. As a mom of 2 kids under 10, online is the only option for me at this point, so I would take classes online.

Well there are a lot of physical colleges that offer online courses. A college that is strictly online I would be quite skeptical of for sure. That is just a red flag that that would be raised and a chance for scams. However, the classes that are offered online are no less viable than the physical classes when you really think about it. It is just down to how you learn. There are many people who function a lot better in the traditional classes and need a more structured environment. That is well and good but I like some flexibility. That is why I take classes online. It just allows me to make a schedule. I will say that you have to have superb time management skills and a great deal of discipline to make these online courses work. Otherwise, they might not be for you. Still I have taken online courses and they have worked out well enough for me.

I am in the same boat as you are. Personally, I do not trust these online providers and I would normally just take a normal class where the institution is visible and you could physically see it. There are countless scams on the internet about furthering your studies right in front of your computer. It is alluring, has a market target and has a perfect condition to make scams. On the other hand, I do not condemn it completely. I am completely aware of those legitimate courses offered by trusted institutions to cater for international students and those who are just too busy to attend lectures and tutorials.

Well, if you have all the convenience to go to school, you don't need online classes. You are still young, make the most of it. Enjoy the life of a regular student. Online classes I believe is good for those people that are working already and going to school physically is so uncomfortable that you need to rush for the traffic. Time and money are big obstacle on your way especially if you are torn between the deadline in school and with the boss. The advantage of working online is you can study at your own time.
