Are Online Courses Right for You?

Online courses can work for many students, just as physical, on-site classroom instruction can. Taking an online course is not easier than a traditional course. In fact, it may be more difficult in some ways.

Did you answer "yes" to most of these questions? Then online courses may be for you. Even if you can see some problems with working independently and online, you may be able to do very well in the program; however, you will need to work harder and more deliberately at staying in touch with your instructor. UW-Whitewater faculty are known for their student-orientation, and this carries through to our online courses.
