I agree with you.  I teach online for UMUC.  The work load is much harder than a traditional classroom setting.  Most of the learning falls to the student.  There is no face to face opportunity where a student can say...I just don't understand and I'm so lost that I can't even begin to articulate what I don't understand.  Many of my students comment that they wish they had taken the class in person.  So many people think it's going to be easier and then are disappointed to learn how much work and effort it really is.[/quote]

I'm glad you posted, because I have one qualm about a degree that's all online. Would there be any opportunity for networking? For people who are changing careers, making connections is important.[/quote]

In my classes, there really isn't.  There are no face to face meetings.  Most of my students are located around the world.  I don't know if the university does any sort of networking events at the shady grove campus or the one in PG county.
