  1. Opting For An Online Course? Consider These Points Before You Choose One If you’ve chosen to go the online way to earn your degree, it is important to evaluate if online education is your cup of tea. Students who opt for online courses have plenty of reasons for doing so- career advancement, adding value to the CV, or simply, to acquire a new skill. Whatever the reason, we’ve listed out a few factors to consider before opting for an online course: What Purpose Does The Degree Serve? This is probably the most important factor to consider before opting for online education. Why do you need the degree? Does online certification better your prospects for a promotion at work? Does it add value to your CV? Is there a demand in the market for people who completed the course? Are you looking for a career change and the course helps you with this? Or, are you learning the course because the subject has always remained your passion and you’d like to acquire a new skill? What Is The Quality of Help Provided By the University? This is another important consideration that matters. Ideally, the university’s website offers a clear picture about the program. Check if information provided is in detail and answers most if not all doubts. If information provided is vague or insufficient, the university isn’t pro-learners and does not attach too much importance to these aspects. The university’s student information guide is also a great place to evaluate their student friendliness quotient. Can You Manage The Work Load? Online courses aren’t as easy as they seem- they’re flexible, but rigorous. In most cases, you may need the same level of commitment (if not more) that’s needed for classroom based learning. The only difference is of convenience. For example, online course assignments can be completed by paying someone to do your homework. You can also get someone to write essays for you, take part in discussions and even take tests on your behalf! Just type in that you are looking for someone to take your online class on the internet and wait for a professional tutor to help you out! Typically, a three credit course that’s spread around 13 weeks needs around 10 hours of reading and other related activities. Are You Computer Or Internet Savvy? Online courses require you to learn how to use a computer, send email message, complete reading assignments and even participate in online discussions. You’ll also have to learn to actively engage in forums as well. 1
