2/2/2012 13:23:14Working at my own pace! I love being able to choose when I work and how much time I spend on each subject; instead of having time constraints, like in a regular class, I can work for however long is needed per subject or assignment.The workload is a little heavier than regular on-site classes, and just because you don't have strict deadlines does not mean you can slack off! Try to keep up with the deadlines as best as you can, and be prepared to ask questions when you need help!get ahead in credits, everything was full, I couldn't get this class at my school, I wanted out of either 1st or 6th period, I heard the online class was better then my school's class, I like learning on the computer better then sitting in a class at my school, I can go at my own pace with an OnlineHS class, Other students in my school classes disrupt my learning, I enjoy individualized and personalized learning, I've been doing this throughout high school.2013noENG301, ENG513, ENG525, FAA169, MTH301, SOC301I've been using this format for three years now, and find the format to be pretty straightforward and easy to use.

You still have to do the work, and many people do not understand that. Just because some people can whiz right through a courses without remembering anything doesnt mean they are smart. There is still work and you do actually learn when you take the time to go through each assignment and a good pace.I wanted out of either 1st or 6th period, I can go at my own pace with an OnlineHS class, I enjoy individualized and personalized learning2013yesEnglish 3Make sure to let students know when they are signing up for classes in teh spring that it is always an option.

I noticed that a lot of times different students say stuff that is not accurate or they kind of give their opinions but those opinions are more about how they WISH things were rather than being based on facts or evidence. I think this is called "critical thinking" and a lot of us could use more help doing this properly. This really happened a lot in my history class (where there wasn't very much guidance) and I think the teacher only commented on one or two discussion statements the whole semester.

I would also like more feedback on writing assignments rather than just "good job" or whatever. It helps me if a teacher points out areas that are maybe strong or weak.

It was really helpful to not have specific due dates all the time because i did still have 5 other classes to worry about and having one less class to stress about getting things done on the exact time was really helpful.
