I chose to complete my degree online. At first, I was really judged, but this isn’t like those diploma mills where you pay an amount for a fake degree. Doing any work online takes time management, planning, discipline, and proactivity. Your end result is only as good as what you put into it, and if you slack off, you’re only hurting yourself. As what happens with any brick-and-mortar establishment, there are good and bad instructors. Some make sure that you are getting the most out of your course, while others leave it to you or a TA to do the work. The “open door” policy will also vary by professor.
