D-I-S-C-P-L-I-N-E to the 3rd power! anyone who thinks that online classes should be looked at as inferior to the traditional school setting really needs to take at least one class online and see the difference. I have done both and I have enjoyed them both for different reasons. Online learning is not for everyone; especially a person that needs the auditory part of the clss to comprehend. Once you become an adult and know your learning style you aae more equiped to make decision like online versus traditional. I have gone to three schools and have finally found a home at Ashford University they have 5 week classes transferring from Kaplan where each class was 10 weeks was a drastic change, but I accepted the challenge because all I saw was the more assignments I do and the harder I work has a realistic payoff; I can see the end of the tunnel and can get closer faster if I like it is all up to me…..traditional school doesn’t give that option, no matter how hard you work or fast you will still do 9 to 18wks a semester.
