Online Colleges and Classes

[sr71blackbird]

Has anyone ever taken college classes online?&nbsp; Whats it like?&nbsp; If I take&nbsp;certain classes, I can progress in pay at work.&nbsp; Is taking classes online difficult?&nbsp; I need as much information as I can.&nbsp; I sent an email to the University of Phoenix asking for more details on the classes I need.&nbsp; How does this compare to a local community college (like Nassau) that also offer online classes?&nbsp; <br />On the tutorial page for the University of Phoenix, it did look a little intimidating to navagate and what to click on, am I being unnecessarily nervous?&nbsp; I have some college, though I never finished and it was in the late 80's when I last was in a classroom.. Any help will be appreciated

I wouldn't bother.&nbsp; If I was an employer and saw &quot;University of Phoenix&quot; on the resume, in the dumpster it would go.<br />

Do online courses through a real college that has an actual campus.&nbsp; Most of them offer online courses now, hell I took online courses in 1999 at Westchester Community College.&nbsp; University of Pheonix will make everyone think you are teh suck

<p>When I was in college, I went to Nassau Community college, and I just checked them out and they do have classes, but it looks like from what I see that I have to disable my firewall for some reason in order to take classes.&nbsp; Is this normal?&nbsp; I am kind of scared at the prospect of not having it up.&nbsp; Why is the University of Arizona so bad?&nbsp; Is it like a joke or something?&nbsp; I really do not need the status of the college itself for my purposes, more so the fact that&nbsp;I am taking the classes to help me progress pay wise.&nbsp; Not that my college resume is so stellar with Nassau Community as my college!&nbsp; Do they all require the dropping of your firewall?</p>

I took online courses through my college and I liked it alot. Freedom to do the work whenever you want, and it was pretty easy to get a hold of someone like a prof or adjunct to get help if you dont understand something. the pure online schools i dont know<br />

And to think, all this evolved from &quot;Take Home&quot; test.<br />

This is the perfect solution. <br>

Online education is becoming much more acceptable. I do a good bit of hiring and have no problem with online degrees, as long as they are from an accredited institution. <p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3">The only downside to online education is you must have a a lot of self discipline, it is very easy to put things off, and let it get away from you.</font></span></p></font></span><p><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3">Anyone who sticks their nose up at online degrees and community college is an idiot.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3">I believe University of Phoenix is one of the largest higher ed institutions in the country at this point. It is far from a joke.</font></span></p><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3">I work at a University, and many schools favor admitting students that did their first 2 years at a community college, and then transfer. Students that follow this course tend to have a lot more success.</font></span><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3"> <p>&nbsp;</p></font></span><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana"><font size="3">No matter what ya do, the more education you have the better. <p>&nbsp;</p></font></span><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></font>
