I've taken four of them and the workload was twice as much as going an actual class and actually REQUIRED 8 days of class time? WTF is the point then?

If you have to have actual class time, then it's more of a hybrid class. I took one and hated it. An all online class, you only meet once maybe twice. Workload is suppose to be the same as any other class. So....

I've only had bad experiences with them

I'm less than a year from graduation, and I still try to get as many online classes as I can.

Got my associates in a classroom setting, then tried online classes for my bachelors. Got five classes left until I graduate. Columbia southern university ftw.

Yes I'd be all for what you described, just tell Maricopa County that.

the online college classes I took back in '07 we only had to take the tests and do a few assignments. it was really easy and we never had to go to class or meet. I never met my professor or any of the other students.

Received my associates in fire science from CSU. The essays can be a pain but over all not bad for online.

I know Im a child of that gen, I learned early that I didn't have to do anything I didn't want and they still moved you forward. But I was just a kid, I didn't know any better, but the teachers n schools sure did.

Well...unfortunatly a teacher can't hold you back because you're stupid. Honestly even as a kid I understood if I fudge my education when I'm young its gonna kick my ass later on. Plus I had parents that gave a damn and teachers who worked with me. So don't blame anyone but yourself.

I'm half way through my Bachelor's degree and all my classes are online. I don't have time with work and my daily commute to go sit in a class for 3 hours a night or whatever.

I do most of my "attendance" stuff at work

and my projects on weekends. I've never had any issues. I like it better.

What's great about online classes is working at your own pace. I had 5 days to complete all the assignments...even the essays...the long essays....and the webcam/emailing/IM-ing the proff. Not everyone can do it though, you need accountability. For example while at disneyworld I was still attending class. Lol
