What are some cons of on-line (asynchronous) courses?
It is important to realize that, like on-campus courses, distance education courses are a big commitment of time and energy. People who tend to procrastinate can find that without a scheduled meeting time, online courses very easy to put off and find yourself too far behind to fully catch up. You will want to make sure to log in and work at least several times a week. Some people recommend that you schedule a time for participating and be sure to make that appointment for “attending class”. –>Discussion boards and chats are not a complete replacement for the back-and-forth interactions of a classroom discussion or the social interactions that can bloom there. You will have to invest some time in simply learning to get around the course site.
