Online classes

Im thinking of taking 4 online classes during Spring Semester, is that crazy? Has anyone here ever done it? The reason why I have to is because my new boss isn't willing to work with our school shcedule so, we have work our way around our work schedules if we want to take classes. Well I work 7am-3pm and I have a 3 year old that daycare closes at 6. Almost all evening classes start at 5 so thats not even an option and I would hate for my son to be in daycare all day. Oh and the reason for taking four is I need to raise my GPA so that I can apply to the nursing program, last year I applied with a 3.2 and didn't get it. Let me know what you think

I'm taking two online classes right now, and two traditional in-person classes for a total of four.

I'd never start out with 4 online classes. I do think that the onlines tend to be more in depth regarding the curriculum. The entire course is transparent, for all to see (including the deans and department heads). It seems that the online courses need to prove themselves. Ugh, if that makes sense. I think this is different from in-person courses because as we all know - in person the instructor can get behind, meander talking about blah blah blah, etc. I also find that in person instructors tend to back off when they see puzzled looks. Online that doesn't happen. You learn it or you don't. The instructor can't respond and covertly dumb things down.

I am taking 1 online class right now and that is Medical Terminology. It is all laid out for me right there with dates for the material to learn and dates of the exams. There is no suprises for me at all. Usually I have 3-4 chapters to read and study then there is an exam. There is only 1 exam every month which is cool with me. To the chapters I get about 3-4 weeks to read them. Next semester I'm taking 3 online classes. I have 5 kids, 3 are in school full time, but the 2 little ones I have at home I need to be here for. Daycare is way too expensive for me. So I want to get as many online classes I can before having to leave the nest. It is all about time management just like a previous poster said.
