Message: [QUOTE="Argonaut, post: 3653053, member: 9658"] When online learning is done well, it is very effective. I did my second master's completely online through UNC Greensboro and I had some professors who were just as wonderful, engaging, and captivating, if not more so, than some of the folks I had in person during undergrad. Others were absolutely dreadful and just lectured at us for three hours a week. If you wanted to retain that information, it took a lot of energy on your part. Just like any kind of teaching, the quality of the course is going to be what the professor puts into it and, like any kind of learning, students have to decide what kind of time/energy investment they're going to make so the information sticks. But for some courses (mainly those that are lab intensive or require some kind of practicum or internship), it's an impossible switch. [/QUOTE]
