Every month, I accrue points on scholarshippoints.com that can be used for entry in many free scholarships. This month, they are offering 100 points to those that blog about online education, so bear with me on this post.
Online education has been very important to me throughout my undergraduate education. Online classes have provided me with the flexibility in my classes that I needed, since I work & go to school. With most online classes, you are able to finish them as quickly as you would like, or at the regular pace of a semester. You are able to log in whenever works for you and complete your assignments as you can around your schedule. I particularly enjoy online classes because they require me to do the work all on my own, & I like it that way. I feel like I learn more if I am obligated to push myself to do the work and gain the knowledge. If you prefer to work in a group setting or in a place where the teacher is right in front of you to ask questions, this could potentially be a setback for you. Another setback could be that online education requires you to be self-paced. If you tend to be a procrastinator, online classes probably aren't for you. If you are self-motivated, however, I would strongly recommend looking into different programs that offer the option of getting online degrees.
As many of you know, I plan to get my Masters degree in Social Work. I have found a few online schools that offer an alternate route of getting this degree. It is great to know that the education system is realistic about the fact that people have commitments outside of school. More and more, degrees are becoming more attainable for people from all walks of life and in various circumstances.
