This wasn't my first online course, I've taken a few others. I find that there is more interaction online sometimes depending on what course is taken face-to-face. I like to mix it up a lil and take both online and in a classroom. I love the flexibility online offers and the structure of the courses. I really enjoy working at my own pace and the calendar provides a clear direction of upcoming assignments, quizzes, etc. to prepare for and complete on your own. I think online courses could be somewhat difficult for anyone who is not self-motivated because the only downside to an online course I see is that time allows for people to get too relaxed, and working on your own with no real in class pressure of a instructor can make students a lil laid back. Some classes could be harder than others online depending on how clear the material and instructions are especially because instructors aren't necessary always available immediately for communication. I believe this class was perfect for online, considering the basis of this class mainly involved online research. Examples of other students work is sometimes helpful, and I would have liked a visual of the final project. I would have attended a face-to-face workshop of this class, I am a hands on person and a workshop could always help.
