The question is not about comparing the online system to the face to face teaching systems. But I would like to understand how important is for the study and research of sociology to be in a classroom with others and do some networking with your colleagues.
I have a bachelor in Business Administration, I believe that for that field of studies creating a good network really helps you because right after graduation you already have friends working in some companies and they can refer to you when doing job search.
But I feel (maybe I’m wrong) that to study sociology you can be behind your PC, reading like hell, exchanging ideas through these type of means (ie yahoo answers), in the library, etc. And all that at your own pace and in an Online course.
What do you say?

I go for psychology online at university of phoenix and i love it its fun and you can work on your time. go for it!! oh yeah and since most companies require a bachelors in a social science right now it’s a very good idea.
