As a result of the positive experiences that I had in the first Internet courses that I enrolled in at ISU, I have subsequently made the decision to enroll in several others. Scott Brown Undergraduate Student Instrumentation and Control Vincennes, IN It was an accessible route to the degree I wanted. Jolene Miller Graduate Student Higher Education Administration Lafayette, IN For the fact that I rely on my salary at a 40-hour per week job. We are a small office, and if I were to step out for a few hours, it would not be productive for the office. I have thought several times to go back to ISU but didn't know how I could accomplish that.
Distance education is a blessing.
I can do assignments, reading, etc. on my time. If the television reception messes up, all I have to do is order a video at minimal cost. I can check the professor's web page for lectures and notes. I can e-mail or call the professor or other classmates when working in a group. Also, it doesn't matter if I am physically part of the class, and the people are just as real to me as if I were there - because we all are learning by the best methods for us individually.
