Should you be in an Online Course?  The prevailing comment from students about this course is that it requires a TREMENDOUS amount of time.  If you are taking an online course because the time offerings did not match your schedule, and you have ample time within the week to study, and you are a highly motivated self-learner, then you probably belong here.  If you are taking this class online because your schedule is so full and hectic that you can't seem to fit the class into your schedule, you should NOT be taking this class on line.  You will invest more time in this class in the online format than you would in the classroom.
