That's why I'm not in school now. I fell way behind. Failed the online courses & lost my financial aid. Now we are trying to figure out how to get me back in school. I guess chalk it up to lesson learned.
Well, this class isn't really an online course. We meet twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for a little more than an hour. The only difference between ITV and a regular class is that you are watching your professor live on television. You can ask questions, join discussions, and particpate fully...if you want. Also, the professor has a screen that is split into four sections so he can see his different classrooms. Brendon and I sit in a back corner and luckily we are not in the camera's view so we can do pretty much anything (including sleep) if we wanted to. BTW, we don't sleep. lol

I tried an online course at the beginning of this semester, but I dropped it because there was a ridiculous amount of work for a lower level class and I'm taking too many upper level classes that I needed to focus on. I may try again later, but I didn't really like how it worked for that course.
