Taking an online class?

<p>I've never taken an online class before and the program i'm in at my school requires me to take certain classes every year. This creates a clash between fulfilling graduation requirements yet abiding by my program's restrictions. Consequently, I may end up having to take HOPE ( my school's form of PE) online. Some of the students that have taken HOPE online have given me mixed results. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult it is taking a class online and if it's a good choice due to scheduling conflicts. Great help would be from anyone who has actually taken HOPE or PE online. Thanks :)</p>

<p>I’m guessing you live in Florida? Anyway, I’ve heard hope online is utter BS. I’d avoid it.</p>

<p>FLVS is irritating but my brother took PE and finished in like 2 months so I guess its easy.</p>

<p>I was going to take PE over the summer, too, but I have no idea how that works… Online PE?</p>

<p>I’m currently taking AP Macro.</p>

<p>ha yeah I do live in Florida. I hear the program is basically just “health assignments” that you do on a regular basis along with a teacher that helps you during the process. Still kinda conflicted. Any more comments?</p>

<p>Do they offer an Honors version?</p>

<p>I’m guessing probably not. I’m thinking it’d probably be like PE but online? Just wondering how the whole “online class” process works.</p>

<p>They have you fill out workout logs and have parents sign them. That’s the only real PE part. The rest is nutrition, health, physiology, and COMPLETELY irrelevant and unrelated assignments.</p>

<p>Lawl, I’m doing it. Do you think I could do two semesters worth over the summer?</p>

<p>And how do they know your parents actually care/monitor?</p>

<p>They just assume they do. And maybe. In any other class, I’d say absolutely, but I’m not 100% sure how the pacing on this class goes. Seeing as someone who does the class in a month would do considerably fewer workout logs (and therefore, exercise) than someone who was in the course the standard time, it stands to reason that they might actually restrict your pace. However, I’m not sure. That being said, the workload shouldn’t be a problem. Sign up and ask that question and just drop the course if it’s bad.</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it affect my grade or mess up my transcript if i drop the class? I was hoping to finish a year of it during the summer before school started again.</p>
