Controversy over online courses

<p>I'm so sorry to post another thread.I really want to self-study, but it's not really working so I want to take courses online. </p>

<p>I'm reading so many posts about online courses - some say that they are totally worth it, some say things like..."it was crap, total waste of money...cheesy graphics...lousy cartoons..."</p>

<p>Are online courses really like this?</p>
