Being an online student

Well I really don't know where to start. At first I thought about going to the college here in town but decided not to since I have my kids. Taking them to and from school, then having my three year old with me all day and I really didn't want to put her in daycare. I feel that I should be the taking care of her until she goes to school. Then in the evenings having my husband at home and the kids practices from the sports they play in, I felt taking online classes would work out better. I could say that they have even though I had my doubts at the beginning. This was because I didn't think that you could actually take online classes and get a degree with even going to an actual class. Well I did some research and found out it was possible. It's amazing how far technology has gone now. I like the way we are able to communicate by the discussion boards even though it feels weird to communicate with classmates that you don't know how they look. Thanks to the blog I have seen several of the pictures other classmates have posted and now its more comfortable when doing my DB. Other than that I think everything is great. The seminars are great, especially because we have the interaction with our professors. I have a cousin that is taking online classes in another university and she doesn't have seminars. She says that the professors just post what needs to be done and what needs to be read for the week, but she doesn't have a class were she can actually hear the professor teach. I am glad I am going to Kaplan!
