If you do not have that, online courses is NOT for you. With online courses, you need to discipline yourself to read the chapters, do the homework, participate in discussions on the forum, etc. In a classroom, you just listen to the instructor lecture, follow along in the book, take notes, and participate by speaking. Online courses are simply more manageable for those who find it hard to balance their already busy schedules. Especially if they work full time, wife/husband and kids... online courses are definitely a saving grace for those of us who already have too much on our plate but yet still want learn or get a better education/degree.

Not to say that you can't do online courses, just remember that you NEED self-discipline in order to fully benefit from the course. You can do the minimum and probably still pass, but if thats the case, why bother paying the money to go to school if you're only wanting to do the minimum? Hope that helps.
I really agree. I took online courses a while back due to my work schedule. I passed the courses but I didn't learn a thing. If you have good work ethics and self descipline it shouldn't be a problem.
