So I totally spaced writing my blog yesterday, so to make up for it I'm going to write two of them today. This one is what I meant to do yesterday. Subject: online classes.
I have two online classes this semester. I have always disliked them and preferred on-campus courses, but I recently moved to Grangeville and now commute to school. To cut down on gas I decided to take some classes online and only commute on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Never Again. Taking all my classes on campus is worth the money in gas. Online classes are frustrating and useless. A normal teacher tries to show their students what's important and asks questions that emphasize important information, but not online teachers. They ask you questions about the most menial information just so you have to dig through and read every word of the information they provide. Yes, it may be a way to ensure that the students are really doing the work and taking the time, but it's still useless. We spend all of our time reading the material, just to answer stupid questions rather than taking the time to really study and understand the subject matter. What is the point of taking the class if all you are doing is trying to get a grade? You won't remember any of it, because you didn't have the time to really imprint the information in your mind and the teacher obviously doesn't think it's worth your time either. I want to learn, understand, and remember the information. Online classes will not do that. So....NEVER AGAIN.
