Advantages of DL
#2
Computer equipment?! WTF?! You can purchase a used Intel coreduo with 4GB memory & all the stuff for under $300...
Internet connection?
You mean you are seriously comparing a monthly fee (in this locale) of $20 a month for unlimited broadband with commuting by car or bus?!

Quote:Figure in the cost of tuition, books and supplies, software upgrades, electricity, babysitting, loss of overtime pay, and travel to attend any required practicum.

WTF...
I thought those were costs associated with B&M traditional university...Big GrinRolleyes

Perhaps this is one of those articles that want to be critical of DL without showing their true colors...for example, leaving bad aspects last insures the stereotypical reader is more likely to remember those...

Quote:while others thrive more on personal interaction in a classroom setting. Those who are more outgoing and like to engage this way may feel isolated in online courses.

Honestly, if you don't have "what it takes", professors are very unlikely to bother with you...B.A teaching is mostly administered through "teaching assistants" anyways...you also may be an A student and they won't bother with you..."what it takes" may very likely mean a communist party or Leninist youth card, a strong belief in the advocacy of "diversity", and/or being "cute" and willing to sleep with them...

I am sure many people find the sideline of B&M universities exhilarating, but I can dispense with meeting Quran in the dorm room when he's had a bad day and a baseball bat...with the drug parties...the noise, uncleanliness, bedbugs and all the rest...including marxist hacks recycling 1970s East German syllabi with minor editing, such as "marxism-leninism" now being "progressiveness", "agit-prop" being "minority right advocates", zionists being "neo-cons" and indoctrination being "scholarship".
