What can an online student expect from college courses?

<p>Hello! Bit of a preface… Throughout my eleventh grade of high school, I will be attending select courses at university (Intro to World Literature and History of Civilization). My education thus far has been provided by an online school. Challenges and new experiences are my forte, but I’m concerned about being thrust into a college course at 16; online and traditional classrooms are stark contrasts of one another. I haven’t been significantly exposed to the latter. Social interaction, however, is an absolute comfort to me – I’ve been blessed on that front, and am far from worried about conversing with other students. </p>

<p>That said, may I please have a general summary of what to expect from my courses? Class sizes, professor communications, and whatever you feel is encompassed by the general course experience… Anything that will prepare me for the transition from online to traditional classrooms. </p>

<p>Thank you very much for your time! I am extremely grateful for your assistance. xx</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine! If you get along well with others, are a great student, and know how to study, you’ll be fine. </p>

<p>My son’s college classes during high school ranged from fantastic to meh. The meh classes were good to teach my son to just do what you have to do to get the job done and get a good grade. He had many more great classes than meh classes since we hand picked most of them.</p>

<p>Full time college will be interesting! :)</p>

<p>You don’t have to worry on that if you know how to socialize with others. I don’t think you will not cope up with the traditional schooling as everyone wants to know others. Traditional schooling your spirit to know people around you and learn to understand them, aside from the fact that you will learn your course the traditional way in a real classroom.</p>
