The biggest plus is the self-paced nature of the course. The biggest minus is the self-paced nature of the course. It is wonderful to pace yourself, working at your convenience around family, friends, jobs, etc. This also means that you are solely responsible for staying on track, not procrastinating and adhering to deadlines. In a self-paced course it is always a good idea to allot for emergencies and special events.
Communication is also a little different in an internet-based course.
There are no scheduled in-person meetings for this course. We will communicate via e-mail. Please check your e-mail at least once or twice a week. As you continue through each chapter in your book and we exchange thoughts over the internet, we will get to know each other a little better.
