1. Is an online class something you'd recommend others do?
Do you feel like you're actually taking a college course?

3. It Fits Into Your Schedule A Lot Easier Than Regular Classes
But it's a lot more expensive. I "go" to classes throught eh University of Phoenix Online, and it's over $400 a credit!!!! If my employer wasn't paying for it, I wouldn't be able to afford it.

2. What degree are you working on?
Is it hard to discipline yourself to sit done and take the lesson.

Do you watch the class at any time that you like or is it given at a certain time?

4. I'm Going for My BSIT
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.

I have assignments due on different days of the week, and you participate in class by posting replies to the class newsgroups. You have to put in the time, or you won't get the work done.

7. Me too..........
Four classes away from having my MBA done. UoP online as well. My employer pays for it too, but I work for Apollo Group which is their parent company so one of my employee "benefits" is free tuition.
