I've had very good online experience so far though I've encountered some professors have issues with understanding Canvas and blaming the school for their errors - just correct the mistake and move on! Many classes are inconsistent in terms of due dates, overall workload, and late policy which is very annoying. Online classes are meant to be flexible but sometimes you run into a professor who does their best not to be. Outside of that, the system is pretty easy to use unless you have a professor who lists 8+ items in each module, then you end up having a lot of tabs trying to keep track of everything. As long as you're prepared to teach yourself you'll do just fine - most professors are incredibly responsive to your email questions!
My experience with attending NOVA has been a joy. NOVA is a great option for those who want to have less debt on there way to a earning a higher education. NOVA has 6 campuses throughout the region allowing access for every student to complete there degree. NOVA also has many options for transferring and degrees based on your needs. NOVA is a wonderful school full of pride and a sense of community. If you are looking for a large school body that offers many variety of degree's, campus locations, small class size, transfer opportunities, ample of class options, and amazing student life/community oriented activities/group NOVA is a fantastic choice!
Last semester, I took my classes online and it was good. My professors were so kind and fair with grading. They made everything fair enough that any student could be capable to pass their courses. I took 5 classes. In which i got 4 A’s and 1 B. Now, im taking 2 classes online in summer semester. So far, it looks good. I think, online classes are more affordable and helpful for those who are not able to make it for classes due to various reasons. Online education also provides students with the chance to network with peers across nations or with different people. This often leads to other opportunities in terms of collaboration with other individuals in the implementation of a project. Furthermore, studying online gives you more flexibility. You can work and fit your work schedule more easily. In Addition, Taking an online course also means that you don’t have to commute to class, which means you no longer have to worry about driving in the snowstorm and missing an important class!
