I'm Starting School Tomorrow

For my Master of Science....

I'm kinda nervous. Anyone done online schoolin' before?

No. But good luck.

Makes hard classes harder and easy classes easier. But really comes down to the individual professors course layout.

I started an online Abnormal Psych class a couple of weeks ago but quit it because I couldn't stand it. Not that it was hard but I felt it was more time consuming than actually going to class. They wanted me to write in a blog, do write in assignments, write on a discussion board, online quizzes, online tests, and interact with other fucks on an online forum. Which I found pretty fucking difficult thanks to TWFix. I kept wanting to say "fuck you, your kid is a god damn dumbass and because your kid doesn't do what highly educated doctors of psych say a kid does, doesn't mean you proved these people wrong. Go fuck yourself you out of work housewife bitch". Fuck You Trip!

I thought it was going to be me reading my book, doing quizzes to see if I knew my work, and then doing a couple in school tests so they know I wasn't bullshitting. I'm an individual learner, not a group dick sucking discussion learner.

Luckily it has nothing to do with my major other than being a nice buffer for PA school. I took it because I was starting a new job and didn't know my schedule yet.

dude you crack me up.

What Master are you going for Bonesaw? MBA?

I've had a few on line college classes, but it really depends on the school/teacher, but mine were Engineering. Some of the classes are taped, then you view them on the net and email the instructor questions OR they can be live via a web cam. Depends on the time the class is..taped during the day and replayed for the night classes. I had my onlines at night. The tests were usually at the school itself or you email it to the instructor. True on line shit is emailed of course. Note..this is usually much HARDER because you get open book and open INTERNET. lol

The other way is what Smittie said, with people all circle jerking around, in some chat room. I've never had this, but I've heard it pretty much sucks because there is little structure to who says what.

Make sure that the on line school you are doing is ACCREDITED. Many on line are not.

Good luck.

Yes.

Gotta be disciplined. You have to be able to force your nose in the book. Sometimes it really sucks, but it gives you the freedom to do homework whenever you want because mostly everything is due sunday nights at midnight. Quizes and tests are almost always multiple choice and timed. Like smittie said lots of discussion boards. Easy to medium classes can be cake, and require almost no time. Like he said, hard classes you just want to shoot yourself becuase you have no reinforcement other than the book you are staring blankly at. DONT take math or science classes online.

Will these be standard quarter, standard semester, or accelerated classes?

Exactly, math and science online are suicide unless you can read your math book and take it all in and understand it.

M. S. Don't matter unless you have a thesis

Yes. Math classes are a fucking PITA, as we had to use Word to show all work. Formatting and inputing all of those symbols and functions and whatnot is a pain in the cock. I spent 4x as much time putting all of the shit into a Word document as I did originally solving the problems.

I asked my professors if I could just write all of the work on paper and scan it into a PDF and was told "No" each and every time.

Good luck.
