<p>Hi there, </p>
<p>I'm considering swapping an in-person writing class with an online one for next semester, but I've no experience with online courses and so would appreciate some advice. I also need to act quickly because there's only one seat left for the online class. </p>
<p>Here are my reasons for wanting to switch:</p>
<p>1.) The professor of the online course is phenomenal (I have him right now) and I will also have an in-person class with him next semester, too, which means it'll be easy to clarify something with him. </p>
<p>2.) This writing course is different and less-specific than the other one, which I actually think is a good thing. It's just advanced writing as a whole whereas the other one is about a specific genre, and frankly, it's one that I don't really like. </p>
<p>3.) I was told by faculty that the professor of the in-person class isn't the best. I know you always have people saying stuff, but it was said (probably unprofessionally) by someone I think I can trust. </p>
<p>4.) Though I haven't had an online course, I did have a once-a-week course with online components, and I 4.0ed it. I did everything at my own pace and loved it! I'm assuming an all online class will be similar, so can I assume I'll be able to flourish in this one, too? </p>
<p>I've really tried to think it through, and both classes count as the same requirement for my writing major. However, I'm naive with online courses, so is there anything I should be warned about or consider? </p>
<p>Thanks! I appreciate it.</p>
