What's the Worst online class you've taken?
#1
Mine by far is Managerial Accounting from BYU.

1)The book was expensive and hardly has any solutions to problems in the back of the book. And if there is an answer, they don't show you how they got it.

2) The CD explaining the lessons is dreadful. The guys voice alone will put you to sleep and he talks fast and doesn't pause, making it that much harder to follow. You can print out notes for the lesson but they're hard to follow since they are abbreviations of him talking.

3) No review sheet or any kind of study guide for the tests. They just tell you to be able to do the CD problems.

4) Can't access the quizzes after you take them. They may think you are going to show them to others across the country, so they can cheat. Stupid.

5) Extremely anal about who procters their exam. I have to drive 45 miles to a Sylvan learning Center and pay $55 an hr.

6) Tests are overly difficult.

The software and everything else is just plain terrible. If other classes are like this than BYU has a long way to go with their distance education program.

Take this class elsewhere if you can.
