Virtual Class


Well at first I was really skeptical about taking online classes and how it would work out for me as I tend to procrastinate.  But it has actually worked out for me and helped me with my time management skills.  I love the flexibility of online school, the fact that I can do my work throughout the week at my own pace and when I want is a great thing.  I can definitely see how it could be stressful to some if you are not focused.  You have a week to finish your work and if you don’t manage your time that week will go by fast.  I think taking online classes there is more work involved then going to a ground class.  With online classes you really have to show the Professors you are learning the material you are covering.  I am a people person, so the only thing that is tough is not really getting to know your classmates.  I am not sure how that will improve over time or if that will even change at all but it will be interesting to see as I finish my online degree.  I have one fear about taking online classes although I know that the school I go to is accredited I am just worried that when an employer looks to see where I went to school they might be hesitant verses the person that went to a known ground school.  Let’s say I am applying to a job and someone with the same qualifications as me is applying, they went to University of Blank and I went to University of Online will the employer look at our education and choose them over me just because online college is just becoming popular in recent years?
