[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 427259, member: 3493"] My daughter has taken several online courses and loved them and done very well. The way the discussions work is usually like this - each student is required to post a question relevant to the topic and is also required to respond to a set number of questions posted by other students. For instance, my daughter took a public health class. For each unit (STD's, drug abuse, domestic violence, whatever), each student had to post an observation and a question - which could not repeat another student's so it was in your best interest to post early. For DV, for instance, a question could be "In my family, I was exposed to domestic violence, Our neighbors must have heard the screaming and objects being thrown, but nobody ever called the police. If you heard arguments like that, what would you do?" then other students would have to respond and the OP would have to reply to their comments. You are graded on how your question fits the topic, what type of responses it elicits and how you as the OP guide the discussion and reply to the responses. As I said, my daughter loved her classes. She's taken the health course (required for Education, nursing and counseling majors so she was exposed to point of view's from different majors), a US History course and a bird science lab on line. The major thing is not to let the work slide to the last minute and to make sure that her computer is in perfect order. There are very strict deadlines for submitting the work. daughter took courses at 3 different schools on line and they were all strict. Can't help you with the New Testament because I'm Jewish but my daughter got the books and videos for her bird course from our public library on inter-library loan (saved us several hundred dollars). Maybe you can get a Bible that way? [/QUOTE]
