River Home Link Student - 12/08/08 
I thought that the online course was a very effective way for me personally to learn. I feel that it has been a quicker way for me to learn since i spend most of my time is spent on the internet anyway it's quick and easy to access. And in addition to that you can do it on your own time. One of the things that kind of freaked me out though was the "deadlines" for things and it threw me off at first.
Other than that the teacher was extremely helpful whenever i needed a question answered. She even showed concern when i was falling a little bit behind which made me feel like there was someone watching and caring about what i was doing.

i really do not like online classes. This is the first one that i have taken though so maybe some would be better. I think that the subject is interesting health and some of the things we learn about are.i really dont like learnign it online though becuase there are a lot of questions that i could ask but its takes to long to email my teacher and get a response before the assigment is due. My favorite things are being able to work on it at home and there not being any distactions such as other kids in the class. what i really dislike is not being able to contact your teachers very well and have them explain stuff, i learn much better if i have a book and woorksheets and hava teacher explaineg everything to me and gelping me, its to hard to not have anything explained if i have questions.
