Is it harder to pass online Gen psychology course rather than onsite one?

Published

Hi guys,

I decided to take Gen Psyc online. This is my first time taking a class online and I don't have any college background. Also English is not my first language so I have to get familiar with terminology. I feel so stressed because I think I may not get good grades if I don't sit in the class. People say gen psychology is an easy course and the teacher I'm taking with uses learn smart modules.

I appreciate your advices

Online is way easier in my opinion, the courses I took online (psych or otherwise) usually required the following: you make a forum post in response to a prompt, and then respond to another student's response; write one or two short essays; take open book quizzes and tests; and gave you an entire week to choose when to do what as long as it was all done by Sunday.

Online. I took it over the summer along with nutrition. We covered 2 chapters a week in psych and 3 chapters a week in nutrition. Somehow I managed As in both.

Online! I took an Intro Psych course from North Idaho College and it took like one hour a week to complete the coursework. Very straight forward. You Can DO IT!

So you meant online is easier, right?

I was so unsure about taking online courses. If I can take some of my courses online my life would be a lot more easier :)

Thank you everyone

I took a lot of courses online including general psychology and while some were challenging (mainly the sciences), general psych was not one of them. In fact it was one of the easiest of all of the online courses I have taken. Just keep up with readings and complete the assignments by the deadline and you'll be fine.
