[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does your child do with online classes? Most business students at UF will have at least one (if not two or three) online classes every semester for the first two years. You can look up the required courses online and search through the course catalog to see how many classes are 80-90% online if not exclusively online. [/quote]

UF business classes does have online courses, but students also have the option of attending the class in-inperson as well. Beginning of the semester the classes are packed but later on more and more students decides to watch the lecture at their dorm. Most of the classes are also taped, so students can pause and rewatch to get a better understanding.  I think they have the best of both world.

Are you saying all IU business classes are in person? If you have a lecture class with 300 students, the students are not asking any questions., it is no different than watching it online. That's my 2 cents!

Either way, your options are good.

IU has an handful of online sections offered, but they are not the only option like many at UF. Some sections of UF courses have 700+ students enrolled and only enough seats in the class for maybe 50 students. The majority of students do not show up for the asynchronous classes, and that’s not really surprising. I doubt my kid would go if they had the option to watch a video at their leisure.

I think there is value in waking up, going to class and being physically present even if you aren’t asking questions. I would also have a difficult time paying OOS tuition for a mostly online experience. It’s a personal preference, but knowing how online learning was a struggle for many kids during Covid, it might be worth considering.[/quote]
