I personally have proven that in a traditional classroom I will fail every time. I did really well in A School, but there it was a matter of fail, and you will end up being an undesignated deck seaman. In college I have always had issues. I am going to find out if Online classes will work better for me. I just wanted to ask the RP community what their opinions are.

A combination of the two options work out exceptionally well. You have an opportunity to match what course work needs hands on interaction with the instructor and what course work you are proficient with and only needs a question answered through email. My experience has been the same as SPC Joshua Heath plus I am terrible at math. So I needed classroom and tutorial assistance to get through math and science stuff. Best on your endeavour PO3 Steven Sherrill

I found online learning to be a boon if you find the coursework interesting. It is possible to progress much faster in a short period of time.

the drawback is that some courses require a Hands-On, especially in technical field so a combination of both types of learning can be helpful.

An apprenticeship program where you are working while you are learning might be the most effective stratagy for you.

SSG Diane R. You make a good point. I don't think any degree which requires hands on training, or labs would be a good candidate for an online only degree. I can't see earning a Chemistry degree online.

TSgt Joshua Kastner - I am considering this option myself while working on my CCNA.

Classroom; although to be fair, I haven't tried online yet. And when I was an undergrad, there was no such thing as "online" learning. Probably why I just don't think its something I'd be comfortable with, which is funny, because my grad program is one of the top ranked part time programs in the country for flexibility, and that's in no small part to it's online capabilities.
