In               a               recent               article               published               by               AC               Content               producer               Nancy               Lambert               ,On-line               Learning               Offering               Opportunities               for               Women,she               pointed               out               the               benefits               of               on-line               education.

In               her               article,               she               promotes               on-line               learning               to               busy               women               with               or               without               children               and               many               other               key               points               for               choosing               an               on-line               program               versus               the               traditional               college               course.

I               am               writing               based               on               my               own               experience               with               on-line               learning               and               how               difficult               it               may               be               with               a               busy               schedule.

After               earning               my               bachelor's               degree,               I               had               always               intended               on               returning               to               school               to               pursue               my               Master's               degree               and               after               years               of               procrastinating,               I               decided               to               explore               my               options.

I               had               seen               the               advertisements               for               on-line               degrees               and               it               peaked               my               interests,               since               it               seemed               to               promote               the               idea               of               flexibility               for               those               who               work               full               time               and               had               busy               schedules.

I               am               writing               to               give               my               experience               and               to               say               that               on-line               learning               is               not               always               as               flexible               and               "busy               schedule"               friendly               as               they               claim               to               be.

I               chose               to               apply               to               the               Criminal               Justice               program               at               the               University               of               Phoenix               On-line               to               work               toward               earning               my               Master's               degree               after               meeting               with               a               University               representative               at               a               college               fair               that               my               company               held.

One               of               the               reasons               that               I               chose               the               on-line               program               was               the               flexibility               that               it               was               designed               to               have.
               I               was               told               when               I               enrolled               that               I               was               required               to               log               into               the               class               website               a               minimum               of               3-4               times               a               week.

I               soon               found               out               that               it               was               almost               unacceptable               and               if               I               did               not               log               on               everyday,               I               could               fall               behind               and               possibly               be               penalized.

I               did               not               by               any               means               think               that               it               would               be               easy               or               a               "walk               in               the               park"               but               I               did               not't               expect               what               I               encountered               either.

Every               class               was               scheduled               to               be               six               weeks               long               so               I               expected               the               work               to               be               compacted               into               those               short               weeks.

At               the               beginning               of               each               week,               we               were               assigned               a               reading               assignment               and               a               paper               to               write.

We               were               also               required               to               answer               two               "discussion               questions"               in               short               paragraphed               answers.

In               addition               to               writing               a               few               short               paragraphs               to               the               discussion               questions,               we               were               also               expected               to               respond               to               other               classmate's               opinions               to               the               questions.

This               was               considered               to               be               "class               participation"               and               a               percentage               of               your               grade.

I               actually               enjoyed               writing               and               responding               to               the               discussion               questions               and               found               that               I               learned               the               most               from               this               part               of               the               course.
               The               hardest               part               of               the               program               was               the               "group               project"               that               was               a               large               percentage               of               your               grade.

It               is               challenging               to               work               on               a               group               project               in               a               regular               classroom               setting               and               even               more               challenging               when               you               live               in               different               states               and               almost               all               work               different               schedules               in               full               time               jobs.

I               disliked               the               thought               of               my               grade               relying               on               other               people.

I               found               that               I               had               to               delegate               responsibilities               to               our               group               to               get               our               project               started               and               it               was               nerve               wrecking               when               a               few               group               members               did               not               complete               their               part               or               even               respond,               eventually               learning               that               they               dropped               the               course.

The               group               project               was               very               time-consuming               and               left               little               time               to               write               our               weekly               papers               and               answer               the               discussion               questions               that               were               also               required.

Needless               to               say,               I               was               a               basket               case               for               six               weeks               and               encountered               many               sleepless               nights,               trying               to               catch               up               on               my               work.

After               working               with               the               other               students               on               our               group               project,               I               found               that               most               of               them               were               going               through               the               same               issues.

Almost               every               student               was               working               full               time               and               many               of               them               had               to               juggle               time               for               their               children               and               spouses.
               One               of               the               good               points               to               the               Phoenix               Online               program               is               that               is               it               very               structured.

I               learned               from               students               who               had               taken               previous               courses               that               every               class               is               designed               the               same               way               with               the               reading               assignments,               papers,               discussion               questions               and               answers,               class               discussion               and               group               project,               so               you               would               know               what               to               expect               from               class               to               class.

If               you               enjoy               the               way               the               assignments               are               delegated,               then               this               would               be               the               perfect               program               to               enroll               in.

Another               good               point               is               that               you               do               not               have               to               leave               your               house               and               hire               a               babysitter,               as               Nancy               Lambert               stated               in               her               article,               but               being               a               new               mother,               I               know               that               it               would               be               almost               impossible               to               complete               your               assignments               and               work               with               your               group               without               a               babysitter               or               someone               to               look               after               the               children.
               Overall,               online               learning               is               very               challenging               to               those               who               are               already               juggling               family               and               full               time               jobs.

Just               being               able               to               stay               home               versus               traveling               to               a               college               classroom               does               not               always               mean               that               you               will               have               more               time               to               spend               with               your               family               or               job,               in               fact               it               could               almost               be               less               time.

I               did               not               find               the               course               to               be               overwhelmingly               hard               in               any               way,               only               time               consuming.

My               opinion               is               solely               based               on               my               personal               experience               and               I               have               not               ruled               out               on-line               learning               however,               I               have               chosen               not               to               continue               with               the               Phoenix               On-line               program               because               it               does               not               suit               me.
