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.

i go to an online high school..

for tests, they allow you to use your books (most of it is multiple choice) and have less than 5 opene ended questions.

for finals and midterms, they still allow you to use your books and it is the same format as the tests (only abolut 5 open ended questions)

for quizzes, you can check it youself and if it is wrong you can change it and get 100 guarrentee. (unless you are too lazy)

homework is just doing an open ended question that they grade. for things like math, there is no homework technically. all they grade is the tests, and the finals/midterms.

for other subjects, they grade the open ended homework, the tests, and the final and midterm. and the one project you have to write.

and you take the tests/midterms/finals/homework whenever and however long you want.

but if you have a short attention span (like me) it still takes a long time to do work!
