...The myth behind Online Education Finding the perfect university to meet a student’s need is quite a tedious task. A student has to consider various alternatives while considering choosing a school. Since online education is now one of the most opted options by students, it opens some good avenues for the students. Online education has been considered as a suitable and viable alternative as compared to traditional education that involves a brick and mortar school. While choosing options for the degree, one now argues the merits of an online degree. Some people opine that the degree earned in an online environment is not as credit-worthy as one earned in a traditional environment. Misconception prevalent generally is that an online degree is not as credit worthy compared to a degree from a traditional classroom, proofs point to the fact that degree earned is as credit worthy regardless of the environment it is earned, be it online or offline. A lot of students have to face struggle in the years they are in college as far as tuition is concerned. Faced with these struggles, students have limited options and they end up with either skipping the school, or opting for a community college. With the costs of tuition rising every year, one faces the obvious dilemma of either going for a college degree or opting for an online degree. Online degree programs are getting quite popular now a day’s among working class people too. They can pursue a degree from the comfort of their home...

There are many ways individuals learn to perceive and interpret information. As a visual learner myself; I do not retain information just by reading alone. I have to color code the main points in my reading, I also have to read two or 3 times before grasping the concept of any reading materials. With color coding it aids me in rewriting and organizing my notes, I seem to retain the information better that way. Unlike the auditory learner, they use the sense of hearing to learn and tend to like live lectures than reading them. Auditory learning would probably be hindrance in me achieving Academic Success because; it would require a lot of my time and energy to learn...

...the need to cheat as opposed to doing the work themselves? Where does someone who is studying online find the resources to cheat? Because so many questions arise when discussing this topic it becomes difficult for one to find answers to all these questions. 18th century writer Samuel Johnson stated, “mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.” (Boswell, Quotation by Samuel Johnson: 1750) Cheating has become a very intense topic over the years with the onset of online education. Everyone who desires an education should realize the important fact although the tools are out there and it has become easier to cheat, it has also become much easier to get caught. The internet has played an advanced role in the aid of assisting students in cheating; however, it has also played a useful roll in catching them as well. Online websites such as schoolsucks.com, flashpapers.com, and hundreds of others have made buying a term paper as easy as the click of a mouse. On the flipside of this many websites also exist to combat plagiarism by offering tools to help students ensure that they have not plagiarized their paper. Websites such as turnitin.com, eazypaper.com, and plagiarism.org offer students and instructors a way of checking their paper to ensure that it has been cited correctly. The excuses fly when it comes to...

...average college, I was in a state of dilemma to go which way, which course can ensure me a good career growth? I started searching out for different courses that can go for higher studies. After a lot of research and consultation, I zeroed on Masters in Business Administration. MBA is a program, which draws students from different academic backgrounds and gives exposure to them regarding different facets of business such as marketing, finance, operations and human resources. MBA makes a candidate ready to face all the challenges of business. I think MBA is a degree, which can assure good career growth even to a simple graduate (Master of Business Administration- MBA) MBA is a degree or program, where you not only learn from the faculty, but also from your colleagues, who come from diverse academic background. It makes an individual aware of all the fields that are needed in a business process. A person holding an MBA degree is capable of doing everything, which is beyond the reach of a normal graduate. This program makes a person fully trained to tackle all kinds of situation that can arise in business and also teaches to tackle them by his or her knowledge, grit and gumption.

...Ideas Learned from Graduate Student Orientation Course Starting a new degree program can be a challenge, especially if one has been out of school for some time. There is an old saying, “Well begun is half done.” (“Proverb Hunter”, 2012) Having a good foundation and ideas at the beginning allows easier and more efficient transition throughout the program. The ideas obtained from the Graduate Student Orientation Course are not something new. However, they can be compared to the missing pieces of a treasure map that has been put away up in the attic. Finding a treasure without them may be possible, but very challenging. By having those missing those missing pieces, the path to the treasure can be clear. I obtained many different ideas from the course, but there are three main ideas, which I believe will be very helpful through my degree program. They are (a) time management, (b) effective writing skills, and (c) use of CSU Online Library. Time Management According to Eerde (2003), managing time gives a person a sense of control of time. When a person has a control, it reduces tension and stress. Minimizing those two factors results in a positive performance and outcome. Being stressed about completing a certain task usually results in procrastination. One will try to find a justification to not complete the task right away, because the task will seem too overwhelming when he/she does not have adequate control of time. When the task can be justified as something...

...Exploratory Paper: As Technology grows, there are more and more virtual schools popping up around the country. With this happening there are a few questions that you must ask yourselves. Is the education that you get from an online school as good or equal to the traditional school system? Can all students succeed in the online environment? Will students learn as much from an online course as they would in a face-to-face classroom setting? Are the degree’s that you may receive from these schools as good or treated as equal to an actual physically attended college degree? Some students feel different about this subject. Taking online classes makes more sense to them in their lifestyle or family situation. The students who take online classes may not be able to attend a traditional college, they may have concerning issues that will not allow this, whether it be having to raise a child and not being able to find adequate child care, or maybe just the cost of the actual school. There are students that do a mixture of both online and traditional classes. They take the classes that they can at a traditional college then take classes online as well. The mostly do this all at the same college that they attend. They may have some of the same issues in life and college but still find time to make it to a regular class room setting. This way they can choose and see what classes they can sign up for and take the rest online. So when comparing the degree’s that you get from...
