In essence, you will find less theory and more practical knowledge being employed to convey ideas. The distance learning process is designed to stimulate dialogue among the students and professor. Consequently, it is important that you feel comfortable in sharing your life and ideas with others in writing. Online learning does not take fewer hours, but you do get to work during the hours that work best for you. We advise you to work on your course 5 out of 7 days so that you do not fall behind.
Many students assume that online learning is easier than taking a course on-site.
To the contrary, online classes are more demanding. In many instances, they can even be more rewarding. Online courses are structured so YOU take responsibility for your learning. So don't think you can hide in the back row and not participate. Don't assume you can just take someone's notes, memorize them and pass a test.
