So, I'm a 100% online student. Options

[*Libertie*]

So, as many of you know, I just moved back home to Texas. However, rather than switching colleges, I decided to stay with the same college and continue my degree with their "distance learning" program. I'm taking six classes online:

- Accounting II (Managerial)
- Programming I
- Multimedia Development
- Orientation to Computer Technology
- Intro to Networking
- Spanish II

Anyway, someone asked what it was like taking online classes, and I thought I'd tell you about it. :XD

Basically, you go to the login page, and it takes you to a list of your classes (images are thumbed).



Then you click on a class and this is the "classroom" once you get in..



You can do pretty much everything online and without having to make a trip to the college. I ordered my textbooks online (they came just in time thank god), and if they need a form they send it to you in the mail for you to sign and send back. The hard part is keeping organized.

I took some cell phone pictures of my little study area. XD This is how I'm keeping track of assignments. Today is Monday, so the board is pretty much full right now, but throughout the week I'll erase things as I complete them.



Annd my desk:



I have my own little corner in the dining area to do my work, but it gets hard to concentrate sometimes. And yes, my desk is extremely cluttered because I'm an extremely messy person.

So far I'm doing really well in my classes, but we'll see at the end of the semester whether or not I actually learn anything.

OMG I have one of those baskets, like the little red one on the left! Hehe they're really durable. Except mines is green.

Wait, how do you take tests? I mean, hypothetically speaking, you could open a book and get answers. Not that I'm saying you would cheat or anything! Or do they send a test to a certain place in a school in your area and you take the tests there with supervision? Just wondering. :P Of course, this question is only directed towards the Spanish course, since the other classes wouldn't really have tests that are written or anythign like that... Yea you know what I mean =X

hehe it's like you're being homeschool, but online! lol. IDK how I could concentrate, if I were to be learning while online. The computer is really distracting. It even distracts me from getting enough sleep!

BTW, your desk is realllllly clean compared to mine!
