Five Tips for Breaking Bad Study Habits

I found the article on How to Take an Online Course for Free quite informative. As a low income earner, I'm always looking for ways to improve my education at a price I can afford. If I'm able to suppliment my fee, so much the better. I found Open Courseware very interesting. Thanks.

President Obama's 2011 Executive Order on Student Loans: What it Means For You... I feel that student loans are important for students to be able to compete on a worldwide level.

I love your site site. It covers so many areas of education that I support (such as online classes) that really allow people to take courses and get their education even if they work or have kids or some other aspect that keeps them from attending college on the traditional manner. Non-traditional methods of higher edication is a great area to build and build upon. jmcharries@cox.net

I read your article about online business degree programs. It concerned me that most of the programs listed were at for profit universities. Many public universities and other non-profit schools also offer these programs online or in a hybrid program of mostly distance learning combined with limited on campus experiences. These programs tend to be more modestly priced than many listed in the article and often are provided by schools with longstanding good reputations.

I read your article titled, "20 College Education Influencers on Twitter You Need to Follow and Why." I was surprised to find that there are educators utilizing Twitter, to give insightful and information tidbits! One of my new favorites is @newgradlife. They give great information to help the college grads find their path and how to ace an interview. Thanks for the great info!

How to Negotiate Your Financial Aid Package was a good article but it could use more fleshing out. Felt short and lacked depth of information.

I read the article about "Pitfall of For Profit Education; Make Sure they Don't Happen to You" and made a comment. I think that visiting an institution is a prereguisite to 'signing on'. For online endeavors, it would be helpful to 'test drive' a short course before full enrollment. Such auditing of coursework would help the learner see if they indeed have the stamina and drive to complete such coursework without the 'supervision and structure' facetime classes provide. Having taught some online courses for educators, had students that didn't 'show up' at the keyboard and yet thought they should receive credit. Online learning can be great with the correct mindset!

I agree. However most online schools do allow you to demo classes so you can see if they work for you or not.

I love the article outlining 135 free online courses http://www.distance-education....I would love to take the course from Johns Hopkins University about Nutritional Health, Food Production, and the Environment. I love that all of this important information is available for free and sponsored by reputable schools of higher education.

i like the article When Your Parents Won't Help You Pay For College ..Never going to college either myself or my husband have decided it is pretty much impossible to pay for our kids college. We need to save for our retirement because im sure our kids wont pay our bills when we get older. So growing up we told our kids the importance of getting good grades and the chances at better scholarships, but my kids chose more to hang out with friends than worry about report cards. So my daughter is in her second year of college working and paying her own loans kathypease(at)gmail(dot)com

I like the "Five Tips for Breaking Bad Study Habits" article. I found it difficult to plan study time in college. In high school, you're given work little by little. In college, you're told everything you need to do on the first day and it's up to you to decide when you need to start working on assignments. The tip about being efficient with time is important.
