Do you have a preference? Online? Classroom? Or blended formats?
If you have taken an online course, please share your experiences. :) Thanks!

I prefer blended! that's where you can get the most of your "educatioon" in college. you go to the meetings to learn physically and go online to check your grade and how your teacher conducts things online.
Online is good when it's a far school and an easy, convenient class. Online is hard for knenetic learners.
Classroom courses are old fashion but good becuase you devellop a nicer relationship with the teacher, unless they have a frequent off campus office hours.

I would say 24 credits is about average- most people at a traditional college take 12-16 units a semester. Online classes are great if you are self-motivated. Traditional classes are great if you learn more by interacting with other people- study groups, etc. Everyone has different learning styles, but I would say that the social benefits of a traditional setting are an added necessity. If you are going for a teaching degree, you should now check out a classroom where you can experience different types of pedagogy and form your own opinions on this very matter.

I know for me I prefer the traditional classroom method. I've taken both and I have less discipline when it comes to online. I actually enjoy the classroom conditions because sometimes students can bring some aspects to a discussion that you wouldn't get online. I'm sure there are classes that are much better for online.

If it is a class you learn by doing homework - I like online better. For example I have taken several computer classes where you pretty much had to go through the chapter and do the homework to know what is going on. I know people that sat in class then had to go home and spend 3 hrs or more a week on the homework. This class online was better because I got to save time by not having to sit in class. I figure most classes (if you have self control) online is better for me. If I can read a chapter and do the homework at the end, what is the point of me sitting in class? I am a business major so I am sure classes like logic or things like that are better in class.

I've had 6 online classes and alot of regular classroom classes, I prefer the classroom classes I think I learn more, but I also like the ease of the online classes. Ive taken classes from the same professor and the online class seemed alot easier, but you really have to stick a schedule, you have to check the class site everyday to make sure your not falling behind. If you need someone reminding you and telling you what you need to do than online class is probably not for you. If your schedule is really conflicting and makes it impossible for you to get to the school than its ideal.

I am taking both online and traditional classes. Right now, I really regret that I took online courses because for me personally I learn better with the instructer being their. I also feel the homework is a lot harder, and a lot more of it.

online classes are alot harder but for some people it seems more convinent. college classes in an actual classroom is kinda of a snooze fest but for some it works out better.

I prefer the classroom setting. I know myself and my weakness and i know that i need structure. Being left responsible to online classes is not a good situation for me.

i prefer traditional classroom instruction because i can get the help a lot easier one on one and am able to stay with the class, where when i was doing it over the internet i found myself falling behind in the curriculum

its bs in a way. We are already so disconnected from one another by today's technology, now you want to apply that to one of the last great oppurtunities you'll ever have to learn? I loved my campus, loved meeting other students, and especially loved the manner in which 'real life' enabled one to find arguments, peers, and really get to know a professor or two. The internet might be convinient, might be easy, but no thanks.
