Taking an Accounting class Online?
It depends how well the online course is structured, the instructor, and your talents and abilities. Online courses in general require you to keep up as in a regular campus course. Slack away and you're guaranteed to do poorly so don't fall into that trap. Accounting specifically requires some hand-holding in the practical concepts since you really need to nail down how to do the problemsets quickly and correctly, as during examinations you will be pressed for time to finish everything. You need to do all the homework and understand it very well, even if the homework isn't collected. If you don't understand something, you must find the answer. So instructor contact is very important for the course. In an online course, as you do not see the instructor typically, you need to make sure they are receptive to inquiries by email, phone, and in person if you live near the campus.
