It depends on how you learn. Some people have difficult time learning online. Personally, I had a hard time keeping up with deadlines online. It was easier to forget test dates and assignments. I’ve always done better in a classroom.

I don’t see how one class would change how your record looks. A lot of students do the first two years of their education in a Community College to save money and later transfer the credits. I would talk to someone at both schools though to be sure your credits will transfer.

Listen to the genius above. She won’t steer you wrong!! good luck with your schooling!

You have to check with your advisor to see if they will allow you to transfer your credits from the community college. From my experience, my first two years of college I would go home in the summer and take classes at my local college in order to be able to stay at home. My university only allowed you to use 9 credit hours if you wanted to take classes at another university. It’s very common for students to do this, and it’s not something that they look down upon if you do it. I also have experience in taking online classes from my university. Online classes are very different and they are not always easy. You need to make sure you read all the materials they give you and keep up with assignments, it’s easy to put off things when you don’t have to actually go to the class.

Anyway, as I said, don’t forget to check with your university and see if the credits you take at the community college will transfer through and you should be okay! Good luck! :)

I have found that online classes were more time-consuming, more expensive and more challenging than in person classes. But I have also found them to be more fulfilling than regular classes. The classes I have taken online were subjects I was interested in (definitely not econ, ugh).

In a regular class, it is frustrating when the clock defines the interaction time. Online it discussions can carry on through the week and you can talk with the group or individuals. Also if you aren’t getting something you don’t have to wait for office hours to ask and you probably get an answer w/i 24 hours. If you want to work during the week you always find the campus class falls in the middle of your workday.
