:) Blog Reflection # 5ive ;)

Wow... this is our last week. :(
I have had a great online experience with this course. I actually feel that I had more interaction with fellow students in this type of class rather than in a classroom. I take as many online classes because its easier with two children. We have responded to each others comments on forums and our blogs. You get a feel for your classmates and who they are. I have taken classes to where there will be little or NO interaction with my and the person across the room or even just a few seats away.
Online classes are only harder if you don't know how to manage your work. I hear that these classes are hard all the time, but that's not true. If you set a schedule for each class and how long you will spend on each assignment, it will be a breeze! You actually get to see upcoming assignments and can get ahead of the schedule with online classes. You can view the calendar and finish upcoming work early. I would have preferred to use an online course for Library because of my personal situation. If i could, I would take all four classes on campus, but I have to work! :(

In conclusion, this class was great as well as all online classes that are offered. I wish more of my classes for my major (Human Services) were available to me. I also hope more are offered at Cal State Long Beach when I transfer. Online class experiences are great!!

I agree with you about setting a schedule for each assignment, and sticking to it !! It really does help you focus.
Yes, sometimes work does get in the way of going to classes !! :)
