Studying Online

Online learning requires the same amount of time and effort as an in-class course.
The perks of taking online courses are numerous. They offer additional flexibility for busy students, especially for those balancing school with work, family, extra-curricular activities, as well as those taking a course from a remote location. Plus, many courses let you work comfortably at your own pace.
If you’ve never taken one before, you may not know what to expect. Studying online requires time management skills and self-direction. It's left on you to take initiative to read and understand the course content, as well as complete any required assessments on your own.
