Default Online Classes, ie. Strayer University..anyone attend?

While down in Florida, my aunt made me promise her that I would go back to school in my spare time and get a degree since I'm 25 and where I'm at just from work experience alone. So.........I am enrolling to Strayer University for Spring courses that start in April.

www.strayer.edu

I'm going for an Associates in Arts for Computer Information Systems since I'm already in the IT field. From there, I'll transfer to a local university and get my bachelor's. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner but I'm going to take full advantage of it since my company will pay up to $5000 a year for school.

Anyone else taking online classes? I have the option to attend the actual class if I want, or just go "asynchronous" and do everything online.

Hopefully I will do well. The fact that I will have to pay my company back out of pocket if my grades go under a C is definitely motivating to me. h:

I'm thinking of possibly doing online classes if I ever go back to school so I don't have to step foot into a classroom.

Personally I think it'd be easier for me. :dunno:

The only think I did not like when I took just one class online, was the slow feedback or if I had a question about something. I would not do it again because its to easy to procrastinate and not get any work done.

I ended up dropping the class I took online after three weeks. I have had a few friends who have enjoyed taking classes online. It was not for me.
