Well, when I decided to do my first internship away from the University area, I thought taking a distance course would be a great way to continue getting course credits. The Shakespeare course was taught by a retired professor living (coincidentally) in the outskirts of Washington D.C. (where I was doing my internship). This was only beneficial because I hated the distance learning style. Going through WEB CT to have the classroom experience was more difficult than I had ever realized to stay motivated. After it took 4 weeks to turn in Romeo & Juliet, I decided to contact the Professor and come up with something else. We decided to meet for coffee in the D.C. and that would be when I would turn in my papers and we would discuss. I did that for the rest of my internship, and still had 3 books to finish to get the course credit. That was a year ago...I still do not have the credit.
