I knew she always had a problem with reading, so I decided that I'd let her read a story to me and help her along the way. While she read, I was greatly disturbed at how far behind she was.

For all of you who have had experiences with on-line courses, I'd like to know:
What is your opinion of the experience,
Were there too many problems?
Did the course fullfil your expectations?
What was you role and the attitude you had to assume to accomplish the objectives?
Would you take another course?

Thanks a lot, your ideas and experiences are very useful to help me decide on on-line education.
