| | | hrmm... i think that online classes are the same as learning from a book. it's good because you can go at your own pace and do it on your own time, however, certain courses like a second language might need some class time interaction if you don't have anyone to practice with.
as far as getting a degree goes, i think that come classes can be done online, but other's it's better to take from a professor where you can interact and ask some questions.

| | | Naturally you have to be careful that you are talking about a reputable school (as opposed to a diploma mill). That being said, most regular universities offer courses online. I took physiology that way. I can't say I'd recommend it for classes with subject matter you find difficult to grasp, though. The biggest issue for me is was that without lecture, I had a hard time narrowing down what was actually crucial to know. Every single concept in the book was equally important to understand. For this reason, I thought it was more difficult than a regular class.

| | | I love taking online courses because it forces me to read all materials. For unknown strange reasons, I cannot force myself to study fully when I go to class and attend lectures. For online courses, I always ace because I study everything and the scheduling is not too rigid. I wish I had more of them.
If the university is an online college then especially make sure it is accredited. | |

| | | it would be law school. you can learn all that at home, i think.
when my dad was in law school all he did was sit at home and read huge books and huge piles of paper all day. i can do that.

| | | For a lot of stuff, online is the way things are going. The tech is there already, WebCT, that kind of thing. As for interactions w/your prof, you can have online office hours & a lot of school already have course forums where you can get most answers from your peers or the moderator/TA of the forum. | |
