Online Education Review

     Personally, I do not like online classes because it is hard to keep up with the work. On the other hand, I do think taking online classes is convenient when balancing your schedule between school and employment. A lot of online classes in the past have been so difficult and the professor does not remind you about any assignments that are due. I have had a handful of online professor's just check in on the first day of class then suddenly reappear during the last week of class.

     This class has been different from every other online class I have taken. Yes, this class was a lot of work, but I loved how we were reminded to do every task. It is great when you know that your professor cares about your success for the class. This class had many smaller assignments with due dates, but it was easier to keep track of them because of the obvious weekly schedules. I really liked that aspect of class. In addition, I liked that this online class had a weekly routine. I quickly got into this routine so I knew what was due on each day of the week.

     My schedule this semester is interesting because I have half online classes and half "in class" classes. I have actually liked this schedule because it does not require me to be on campus a lot. I think this has been great given that it is my last semester at OU. My biggest complaint for online classes (this class didn't have us do it, which was awesome) is commenting within D2L. I don't understand the point in answering "yes or no" questions in D2L when the entire class says the same thing. In addition, we usually have to comment on many other posts by students and just say we "agree" with it. I never understood why we had to do this as it is kind of mindless work.
