<p>hey all-
i was wondering if colleges have any way of determining if one of your classes on your transcript is an onine class or not???
thanks</p>
<p>They may, but depending on which class you took online, probably don't care much about how you took it. If it's transferrable, it's transferrable.</p>
<p>im taking an english class online- is that too "core" of a course to be taking online??
thanks for ur help :)</p>
<p>Depends...there are factors that you need to check out in order to answer this question:</p>
<p>From where to where are you transferring?
Do the schools have any sort of transfer agreements?
Is the class a legitimate college level course, or an introductory course to satisfy pre-requisites for college level classes?</p>
<p>Some schools are unwilling to accept credits from certain other schools, regardless of how the class was delivered. It's sort of a tricky system sometimes.</p>
<p>well im transferring from a community college in CA to Cal....its EWRT 1B-which i know for sure i will be getting credit for it-i just wanna make sure it wont look bad on my app..</p>
<p>Rosy- There is NO way they can determine a class is online, nor do they think about that, nor are they legally allowed to think about that. Internet classes are worth just as much as classroom classes in terms of records. </p>
<p>There are other weaknesses with internet classes, especially taking important classes like English online. But as far as admissions, records, etc. there is no discernable difference.</p>
<p>^^yeah, gabe is right. A class is a class, and whether it was online or in class, it's looked at the same way if taken at the same institution. </p>
<p>gabe, what is the weakness of taking English online? I'm struggling to see it.</p>
<p>would u recommend taking an english class online?
i had basically an a+ in my last english class....but im not sure if i can do the same in an online class....anyone PLEASE feel free to give me advice!!!</p>
<p>It's important to work on writing skills. Sometimes it can be more difficult to learn core stuff online, or you may not internalize it as well as you can in a classroom.</p>
<p>And yes, many students find online classes more difficult (Partly if they like the professor, student interaction.)</p>
<p>I still don't see it...I can agree with your point about "if a student needs professor/student interraction" then online can be hard...however, it seems like writing skills are best learned when actually writing, IMO, and a person can write regardless of whether the professor is holding their hand or not... the only key element is that the student gets feedback on what they write, and then learns about the mistakes he/she made, then re-writes with a new approach from the feedback. Also, both delivery systems will most likely have a text book for learning support, and students can consult their text in the same manner for either delivery method.</p>
<p>My argument would be that English can be taught using either format with equal efficacy.</p>
