I can study when it is convenient for me. I usually readand write my assignments on the weekends, when I am more rested and focused. In that respect, I think I am putting more into, and getting more out of,my education. UW-Platteville'sonline courses are very interactive and are designed to ensure regularcommunication between the student, the instructor, and other students. There are often weekly assignments that include posting responses to questionsand also responding to other students' postings.
