The University of Alberta where I took my first degree at has 3 credit classes which are designed to last one semester (4 months) or six credit classes which go for two semesters (8 months). So each semester of my degree would normally have five three credit classes.
I like learning on my own and through text so I think I will like it overall, but if you learn best through lectures you probably wont like online very much
I have started it and for the two classes it was $1800 (which is a total of 9 credits). Is it a 3 credit or 6 credit class? If its only 3, it is likely expensive because UofT is charging you all the student fees. If it is a six credit class it sounds about right.
I also have applied for the 2016 program! It is soooo nerve wracking! I am missing some prerequisites and working on them through Athabasca starting this month! Hoping it wont be too difficult to do well in the online courses!
