online class more organized than most. She needs to give a class to
other professors in how to set up their online class. Every class
session she posts instructions on what to do. I am VERY serious when I
say that she needs to give other professors a course in setting up their
class.

I liked being able to access
the material at any time and as many times as I need to in order to
fully understand the concepts. I liked being able to complete
assignments at time that fit my schedule and preference rather than
having to take a class at an assigned time. I believe that I learned
more through online class than I would have if I had been in a
traditional classroom setting. In a classroom setting some students
enjoy sharing their personal anecdotes and experiences which may or may
not contribute to the topic of the class. I find myself getting
frustrated in classes when this happens because it wastes time that I
don't have to waste. Online courses eliminate that problem to a large
extent. This is a great thing!

traveling with family and still take a required course

require a time commitment of being in the car for two hours could work
on projects any time.
