Vague directions, copious amounts of online homework, little to no communication with the professor—yes, I'm talking online classes. From what I've gathered from talking to other people, students tend to either pass the class with flying colors, pulling out an A, or end up failing miserably. Regardless, online classes have shown themselves to not be as breezy a route as everyone thinks, and "The Real Housewives" seem to agree.
Thinking this class is going to be so easy.
Getting the syllabus and realizing you have two Skype sessions with your professor and seven hours of online homework per week.
Telling yourself you're going to get all your work done ahead of time like the overachiever you are.
Then realizing you completely just lied to yourself.
Entering your first online discussion session with classmates.
Wondering how you're going to finish all the online homework.
Getting your first test grade back.
When someone writes a page and a half response arguing with your discussion post.
Typing out an equally long response and then realizing it's not worth it.
Missing a quiz. Or two.
Realizing it's already time for the final.
Asking yourself if you've learned anything.
Yet somehow still pulling an A in the class.
