Sure, e-Courses allow the student to work at his/her own time. In fact, it is the freedom of time and lack of self discipline that cause a significant percent of students to fail to complete the class. Failure is seldom a result of being incapable intellectually, failure usually is a result of procrastination--of failing to really ever getting started. With no one there to prod the procrastinator on, he/she just slips away. Before you say, "That will not happen to me!" Consider that the drop out rate in e-Courses is twice that of traditional lecture classes. Consider your personal disposition before you choose.

Some misinformed quasi-scholar may have told you that distance learning courses are easier than lecture classes. Well, maybe at some schools; but, not at Amberton University. Remember, the e-Course is exactly like the course offered in the class room. The professor teaching an e-Course at Amberton University is the same you would have if taking a lecture class; and the materials to be mastered are identical to those in the catalog. Easy? Harder? -- No, to both questions. However, in an e-Course you can hide and procrastinate longer. Don't think an e-Course will be a walk in the park. You can succeed, but you will work for it

Don't sign up for an e-Course (or for any course) as a knee-jerk reaction to the boss saying you need more education or "it seemed like a good idea at the time". Plan your future and don't be blown into the future by the winds of change. Do not apply for admission or sign up for any course until you have carefully read the University's Catalog and understand the system; and never sign up for a course until you have reviewed the course syllabus and know what the course is about.
