Tips for College? - Comments

I have taken classes online and it has its cons and pros. First, you save a trip to the school, college or community. You can study and learn from the conformity of your home, but for some people it can be the opposite of good because they get distracted easily. It's easier to take them online, but I prefer taking classes where I can have a direct contact with the professor. I can ask if I have doubts about something and hearing it from his or her mouth than to try and figure out the information from words I am reading in an email he or she sent. I love to learn and for me taking them in a classroom with other people, working also on my social skills is better for me than to take them online. I hope I was helpful.

I took an online class before and I preferred to work on the class somewhere that's not home like at the college you attend or at a library, cafe, ect. because I would also get distracted and not do my work. I personally found it harder to do online because it's easier for me to forget about it if I don't have to get up everyday and go somewhere.

I suggest going to cafe's, always putting your assignments in your calendar (if the syllabus has them listed, at my college all the syllabi we get has every date and assignment due recorded on it so we have no excuse) and set a reminder for each and every day you need to do work/turn it in.

Thank you!! That's a good idea. Maybe I should look into getting one of those too so I'm at least some what organized!

I've taken an online class before; it wasn't too bad! I just had to focus on self motivation since there are due dates but no physical lecture that I attend. I make sure to keep a planner so I have my due dates sorted out.

I feel like it's easier test/quizzes-wise because I don't have to write anything down.

@ zuccarello.
Thanks girl! I took a few of them in high school and I enjoyed doing everything online. I just figured it was easier and wouldn't be as stressful.

I took one online class while I was at school. I really liked it, and did really well (ended up with an A-). I think it's "easier" than an in-person class because you can do the work on your own time. For my class, we had certain assignments we had to do over a span of a week. We'd have quizzes and tests that were online and timed. I would recommend online classes for sure. If you have any specific questions, I'll try to help!
