So, what can I expect from an online class?? I work full time and have 2 young kids. Am I getting in over my head?  Baker does 6 week classes and I'd like to possibly take 2 per quarter in the winter time so it doesn't take me 10 years to finish this up.
Thanks for your help!!

Expect more writing (typing) since all of your "classroom interaction" must be typed out.
Expect some technical difficulty from time to time.
Expect to put your written work into your professor's format not your own (richtext rather than Word, etc.)
Expect that you must be a very strong independent learner- not much hand holding in online education (read it- do it)
Expect the flexibility to do your work at 2am, but also expect that you won't have the down time/holidays like on campus. (I had a 10 page paper DUE on Christmas)
Additionally, an MBA is only 36 credits away- why get another undergrad degree? Up, up, up!
