Re: Online vs. On-campus

I am a completely online student. The University I attend does not treat us like second rate students, and it is certainly not a degree mill. I spend from 6 to 11 hours per class per week. I know that my highest brain time is about 4:30 am- 11. Traditional classes are not usually that early, and I work anyway, so my choices are night classes (I WOULD DIE!!) or quitting work (Not possible at this time).

I have weekly reading, writing assignments, discussion boards, etc. I have to write papers and listen to lectures. Basically, my Saturdays are taken up with reading and assignments and the rest of the week I do fill-in work early in the AM before work. I hold an office in the Communication honor society.

My degree will say Regent University not "Loser Online". I will walk with my class in May at graduation, I will be prayed over individually at a commissioning, and I will be wearing honor cords.

I will say this, I know two people who are taking online classes, one for a master's in theology from a hole-in-the wall, only online school; honestly it seems extremely easy. The other person is in one of the most popular online schools. If she is running late, she will have her brother take a test or write a paper for her, and she has taken three classes more than once. I am sure that this happens at my university as well, but when you have to sign an honor statement before taking an online test, it makes you think.

My husband attended my university on campus for his graduate degree, it is a great school, anyone who would like to know more about it, feel free to PM me.

Oh and by the way Dr. Vaughn, there is no "s" on the end of Regent.

I love my MAC~
