I have made the choice to go back to school and finish my degree finally. I am just hoping that with three kids, house to keep clean, my two oldest in school that i am not taking too much on with my online school work. I just dont want to get over my head too much with me going back to school. But i feel like this is something that i have to do for my kids and for myself.
I'll be honest. It will not be easy, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. I would suggest you print out a copy of each course syllabus, and keep it posted next to your computer. I like to highlight, and make notes as the semester progresses.
Also, do not hesitate to visit your professor during office hours, or contacting them via email. If these are your first online classes, they can help guide you. Some even offer an overview a few days before the semester begins. Definitely take advantage of that.
See how this semester goes with your course loads. You can always add/drop in the first few weeks, plus it will help you gauge your amount of classes for future semesters.
