Does taking online classes in community college look bad to a University?

Posted by Admin in Saturday, March 13th 2010 2 comments already

I go to a top rated community college and I am enrolled in online classes, as well as class which take place on campus. I was told that it looks bad to Universities to take classes online. Is this true? If so, how come?

I think it depends on how many courses you take on line and the type of course you take. For instance, if the course is a low level gen. ed. course I think it would be fine, but if the course is an advanced high level course I would not take it on line. Another thing to keep in mind if you plan on transferring the course to the University you are probably better off taking the class in the classroom, if the class is just to meet a community college requirement then it probably would be OK to take it on line. Remember that classes taken on line can be more difficult due to the lack of classroom teaching–so you will have to read everything and study harder.
I think one of the main reasons that Universities frown upon on line classes is that it is hard to prove who really did the work and they don’t want to waste their time and space on you if you don’t deserve it.

Not at all . . as long as the course is through an accredited community college and you do well in the course (A or a B) it doesn’t matter at all if it is on-line or traditional. If you want more info on what will transfer and what wont, contact the institution that you want to transfer to.
