Each semester I normally take one MOOC course. I love online courses. I am able to work at my own pace and get the work done how fast or how slow I need to. If I have a test I need to study for a paper I need to write I can put the class off until I have more time to excel in it. I find that when I take an MOOC I am more motivated to complete my work in a timely manner at the beginning of the week so I don’t have to mess with it as the week goes on. With that being said, I have never taken a math course online. Part of the reason is math is my worst subject, I am terrible at math. So when it comes to a classroom where there’s a teacher daily I can comprehend better than I could if I were simply looking at it on the computer. There are defiantly pros and cons for MOOC courses and they are not for everyone, heck they aren’t even fully for me (math) but yet they are still popular in today’s society.

Do you find the method of math instruction here (lecture + lots of MathLab work) to be effective or ineffective? Do you find the time with the instructor in class to be more valuable than the time in the math lab? I think there is still room for innovation in the way math is taught online. Nobody seems to have a great experience with it.
