I am currently going to Stonecliffe College online its an academic division of Colorado Tech university online. My husband goes to Colorado Technical University online. So we are both attending online schools. Which ever school you are looking into make sure they are accredited. Both Stonecliffe and CTU are nationally accredited schools. I also looking into Keiser College, AIU, Phoenix online, Kaplan University and they were all great schools just wasnt what I was looking for.
Each school does classes a little differentl/ CTU you take two classes each session which is about 5 weeks. You can go to one of you need too it just adds time on to your graduation. Stonecliffe has one class each session which is 5 weeks also. They both have two hour long "chat sessions" with the instructor. Same as if you were in class. They are archived which means you do not have to show up to the live session you can access it anytime. You communicate with your intructor through email, phone, messenger. Almost every teacher I have had has given us their home phone number or cell phone. You turn you homework on the web site. Now at CTU they do not have knowledge checks but stonecliffe does. CTU usually has a Dicussion Board which is like a paper you write with your opinion and a indivual project or group project. Most of my classes have had knowledge checks which is a test of 20 questions you get 90 minutes to complete it and you can use any resource at your disposile. I have used the internet, the textbook, you name it. If you have any problems with a teacher not getting back to you about a question you have all u do is contact your student advisor and they will help rectify the proble, I have done this recently. Oh yeah, I am going for my AA in business administration with a concentration in management.
What schools are you looking into? Good luck. The online schools are great for mothers who cannot attend a brick and mortar school or even those who would feel ackward going to college with a bunch of 18 yr old.
