The content in an online learning course is not any harder (or easier) than the same content in a face-to-face class. The difficulty lies with time management. You are solely responsible for getting through all the materials. To be successful
you must be self-motivated, committed, and have some computer skills.
To give you an idea, a four credit face-to-face course means you come to campus four hours a week and then you go home to complete assignments. On average, a four credit online course will take approximately four hours to read through lessons
and materials, and then add any extra time needed to complete assignments and activities. If you are signed up for twelve credits online, average twelve hours a week for lessons plus time for homework.
