I completed my masters degree online. It was wonderful because I could work on it at my leisure, I got to avoid the commute, the parking nightmares, the droning classroom lecture. The only thing is you have to be self disciplined.

I have been taking online classes since I found out I was pregnant. I was going to ASU (arizona state) during my first trimester but we have a HUGE campus so I decided that was enough walking in the heat so I decided to go to asuonline and its great. I`m still doing it now so i can stay home with mariah. I guess thats why I`m online so much because i should be doing my work :-)

Half my masters was online. I loved it because it didn`t pull me away from my kids. Also I could get the classes done ahead of time for the most part. There is more book reading and assignments to replace class time and lecture so it took more time for homework!

I took a year of online classes to finish my associates and loved it! One thing I can say is it is alot of work..lots more writing than a regular course!

Yes I have and enjoyed them for the most part. There can be issues but I would not have been able to go to reg. classes.

I love it! I am taking online classes and it is so much easier than going to campus. I am very self disciplined as far as school goes and havent struggled at all. The teachers have always been very responsive and if there is something that I just can`t understand, I can always go to campus and see them. When I was in classes on campus, my classmates tended to be very young, immature and talked through lectures. I don`t have time for that crap, I am a pregnant mom and full time employee. Plus, I love that I can do my coursework at 5am or 7pm or whenever I happen to have the free time. It takes me away from Daisy less

I have a bachelors and a masters and took online courses for another advanced degree for job. I hated them and wouldn`t continue past one course. It could have just been the school or lecturer but I felt there was not enough support and/or other students taking it seriously.

I`d take online courses through an actual college, not just a school that specifically does online classes...that way you can take some at home and get some done in an actual class and actually gain something from the expierence.

I liked the online courses because we could do it on our own time and not have to go to a classroom but to me it I spent more time doing the work and there isn`t hands on teaching. So give or take. You have to have good self discipline.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
