Do seats get filled up in online for online courses as they do for traditional courses?

Yes, there are a limited number of seats available for online courses.

there are a certain number of seats available, but i've never had a problem getting one. they just take a lot more discipline than showing up to class.

Okay but do they usually get filled up really fast?

depends on what class

^^^i dunno about that. i still can't muster up the motivation to go to class.

anyone whos taken an online class knows of the whole "forget to login to webct for a week" thing

email on webct is even worse

Just check and see if the class you're interested in is full.

distance ed classes are the last to fill up. i've often ended up doing online classes as a last resort BECAUSE the traditional classes i wanted were full.

i'm taking precalc through a DVD course this semester. it's almost the same as attending a class. you have homework on webassign. i set aside 3 hours each Mon & Wed to watch DVDs and do Webassign.

i don't recommend taking something like Philosophy or English through distance ed. i've done it before, and it's difficult to make time for the reading, writing, etc. This was truly a last resort for me when i did it.
