What's the difference between online and in-person classes at PVCC?

I'm an accounting student at PVCC and I've been taking online classes for two years. I'm considering switching to in-person classes because I feel overwhelmed by the online workload and I want to experience the college life more.

If you don't attend campus, you might miss out on the full college experience. However, your ability to learn ultimately depends on your curiosity and desire to solve problems. It's worth considering whether you'd rather live life firsthand or experience it through a screen.

I think the main reason I want to switch is because I value the traditional learning experience. I've already established my life and hobbies outside of school, so I don't need the campus social scene. I'd rather attend lectures and engage with the material in a more hands-on way, rather than doing weekly assignments that involve responding to classmates.

Think of college as a unique opportunity to develop your social skills and make connections with others. Try to make the most of it, even if it's not in a traditional classroom setting.

The amount of homework you'll have depends on the specific courses and instructors you're working with. It's also worth considering whether you're taking on too many classes or credits per semester. Generally, it's a good idea to stay under 18 credits to avoid overloading yourself.

I'm currently taking 10 credits, so I'm not overloading. However, I do feel like online classes require me to take on more responsibility for my own learning. In many cases, there aren't live lectures, and instead, I have to read the textbook or watch pre-recorded videos on my own. Some instructors seem to take advantage of the online format to minimize their communication with students, possibly because they're balancing another job with teaching.

I took two in-person classes and the remaining 70 plus credits online. While I found the in-person classes to be somewhat disappointing, I did enjoy the sciences classes I took. The workload was the same in both cases, with the in-person classes having the same homework and quizzes as the online versions. However, I did find that in-person classes might be more beneficial for subjects like accounting, where hands-on learning can be more effective.

Online classes require a lot more effort from students. They need to prove that they're completing the required number of hours for the course. In contrast, in-person classes count class time as part of the required hours. Additionally, in-person classes provide opportunities to meet instructors and classmates, which can be beneficial in the long run.
