Summer School Is Almost Through

Wow I can’t believe that I will be finished with summer classes already! It feels like just yesterday that i started my online Sociology class. Fall semester was worlds away from me.
While I like taking the online classes I feel like there is something missing. It just feels weird to me. I need to state this right here and right now. I love to learn! I love interacting with classmates, getting into discussions with the class and the professor. I love getting feedback on my progress right there in the classroom. All of these things just seem to be lacking within the online setting.
Sure, there are discussion questions that we have to answer each week. We have to post our response and then post a response to 2 other people’s work. I feel like I am just posting on a message board to faceless people.
Testing is something that I am half and half about. I feel a lot less stressed taking the tests in the comfort of my own home. My problem is that I don’t feel like I’m learning anything with the tests. All we’ve done is read some chapters and the professor has tested us on them. There’s really no lecture and nothing to go with it.
So I am going to register for my fall semester tomorrow before i head to work. The thought of not doing online classes weighs heavily in my mind. I have to look at my schedule and how in person classes fits into it. The online classroom sure is convenient but I just don’t feel as fulfilled as learning in a real classroom. I’ll talk about which decission I made and my schedule later this week.
