The beauty of an online program is that they’re typically designed for folks that work. So they’re generally not expecting you to be at any place at any particular time…and assignments and tests usually have a few days to complete. One of my son’s classes gives all the assignments and tests at the beginning and as long as you complete them by their assigned dates, you’re fine. So you can work ahead and finish a class long before the semester ends. Nice. It’s also great because if you have to travel with your job (or for family reasons), you won’t “miss class” or fall behind.
