1. Online courses are NOT self-paced. There is a strict schedule for the lessons, completing assignments and taking online quizzes.

2. Online classes are NOT easier. All the same material is covered as in a regular class. The difference is the presentation is over the Internet. Students will do proportionately more reading and less listening in an online class.

3. Your instructor is NOT a "teacher" but instead a "facilitator". He/she will answer your questions, but the initial presentation of course material is done on the computer rather than by a "lecture". Thus, students must read the lessons, view the videos, read and view the calculator tutorials.

3. Self-direction, organization, persistence, and maturity.
