How do online nursing degree classes work?
While this may vary from school to school, an online class is generally hosted on its own website. The instructor posts lecture materials and assignments to this site, and there is usually a bulletin board or other discussion forum where students may post comments and questions. The instructor may occasionally designate a specific time for an online chat session, but otherwise you may log in and work at any time. Assignments are emailed to the instructor, usually on designated due dates. For many online classes, written course work takes the place of traditional examinations. When this is not the case, examinations may be offered online, or they may be proctored; many schools provide students with listings of suitable locations in their area where tests may be taken.
