What't it like taking a college course ONLINE (namely Psychology?)?
Asked by knyazhnaHave you ever had the experience of taking a Psychology college course online, (It would be great if it was at Front Range Community College, but if it wasn't, that's okay, I just want to know what it's like.) - HOW disciplined do you have to be to take a psychology class on line? - HOW much time do you have to devote to the online class everyday (how long do you spend reading and "being in the class" online?) - HOW long does it take to do the work/homework? - HOW hard is it? - IF you had to choose between taking the psychology course online or driving over to the college, what would you choose? - IF I have a lot of church stuff, school, applications and scholarships to fill out, should I choose online or not (on campus)? - IS there a lot of reading to be done in psychology? Or what does the class consist of? - PLEASE tell me what it's like to take a college class online. Thanks SO much for your help and advice! GOD BLESS YOU!

Any college course online can be challenging the 1st time around. It's just a different approach to managing your time and attention. YES, there will be A LOT of reading. If it is a 3 credit course, then you should probably budget about 6 hours per week for the course. Sometimes, you'll be able to choose the hours on your own, other times, you may have to log in for an "online chat" at a specific time. Learning the technology format will also be a challenge initially (where do I find how to submit that paper?), so be sure to give yourslef LOTS of leeway time leading up to due dates. More and more classes are moving online, so it's a good idea to dive in and take one and see how it works for you! Good luck!
