Reading and grading the online discussion posting for my economics class. I noticed the following patterns. Most of our students are students at Cal States and U.C. system. They take their lower division classes at Rio Hondo to save money.
"Another reason I am taking this class is because I refuse to pay 863 dollars at CSU Long Beach."
The reasons they take these classes online are for flexibility, to avoid the heat and to save money on high gas prices.
"This online class is ideal for me with my busy schedule because I can work on my assignments whenever I have free time."
"I decided to take this course online as I'm working two very sporadic jobs in two different cities over the summer and really needed the flexibility of an online course."
"It's summer and I'd rather take an online class as oppose to sitting in a class room."
"It's summer now and I would rather stay at home and take an online class to save my gas money and I also do not want to go out when it is 100 degrees outside."
