<p>I'm not talking about major classes, btw. I'm strictly referring to some classes I'm taking now and some I'll take next semester that are at a CC that will be transferred to a University next year.</p>
<p>I'm taking Intro to Business, Applications in Algebra, English 101, and Oral Com online now and will be taking Applications in Trig, English 102, CAD 1, and Visual Arts next semester. I figured I'd try to get them online, except CAD, just to save myself some driving and gas money. Taking some online shouldn't hurt me online in any way should it?</p>
<p>Online classes are less work than traditional, but that’s about it. Take online only for classes you really don’t care about.</p>
<p>It’s always been my experience that online classes require a LOT more busy work to account for the lack of class time. It shouldn’t be a problem admissions wise though.</p>
<p>Online classes won’t hurt you at all, a class is a class, credits are credits. Workwise, some classes are easier some harder. I did almost all my maths online, it was a lot of work but I got all A’s and still learned what I needed. If you are disciplined to get the work done, good at self study (though a lot of classes have some interactive aspects) and are savvy with finding information online than I would definitely suggest them.</p>
<p>It definitely does seem like I end up with more work. I’m assuming that is because we’re not in class. Anyway, I’ve been pulling A’s, and I’ve not had to drive to the campus. I don’t consider these classes to be THAT important. Guess there won’t be any harm in taking some more online classes next semester. Thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>My M.S. Engineering program was mostly online. I did take a couple of courses (that I transferred) that were classroom-based and the online courses had more “busy work”. The classroom-based course based your grade more on your exams and final whereas the online course had more periodic quizzes, reports and other assignments. Even with the increased busy work, I preferred the online courses since there was less pressure on exams.</p>
