Online summer classes before freshman year?

In my online classes the content was placed onto a discussion board, just like this one, and we would have discussions about the course content each week. We would take quizzes and tests that would be placed online, and we turned in papers and homework online too. You have to be very organized in an online course because you don’t necessarily have a professor reminding you every class what is going on in the class, when tests are, or even explaining in detail about assignments. I did have one online professor who hardly helped us out at all the entire semester. She just assigned stuff and expected us to turn it on time. There weren’t a lot of discussions- except for everyone in the class asking each other for help because we never knew what was going on. For that class, taking an online class was a confusing experience.

Otherwise I had positive experiences with online classes.

As for which class to take, I would definitely take the class I felt the most confident about.
Do you have any other basic general education courses to take online? Like English 101? Those might be good courses to go ahead and get out of the way.

Just know that online courses do not automatically = an easy class.
