I’ve been attending college online for a Bachelors in Computer Science, Concentration in Web Design/Development. Back when I was attending a physical campus, I was handing in my assignments via e-mail or into the professor’s telnet dropbox anyway, so actually doing the coursework online seemed like the next logical step.
The more I’m doing this online school, the more unhappy I am. Many times the instructors are only there to grade the assignments and offer little to no feedback. At my current maybe 1 -3 classes each for Visual Basic, Java, and C+ and I don’t feel very confident in them, even after taking a few classes several times over. There’s only a couple courses that teach the theory, logic, etc. in computer science. When I expressed concerns, I was told I had to learn it on my own. Much of the material is presented as if I’m already working in my field.
I’m out of ideas, so I thought I’d ask for thoughts and feedback. Maybe I went into this with the wrong expectations; what should I expect from a college’s Computer Science program in your opinion?
