Online Class Scam

I'm in the wrong job

from JoeUser Forums
So I'm here waiting for my online class to start. Thankfully this is the last night of class so I won't have to stay here at my job since I have no net access at home as of yet. But seriously how much of a scam is this. I'm required to do a certain number of in-service hours for my job so one of my options is to take this online class. The "professor" conducts a chat session for 45 min. on 4 separate occassions, sends out a few emails, checks our forum posts and then goes to get his paycheck that my job shelled out $100 for. I already knew being a professor was a cushy job, but being an online professor is like a remote control for your lazy boy recliner...and that's just more convenience and comfort than anyone needs or deserves.

Well yeah it's supposed to be a convenience, but that's kind of the point. It kind of takes advantage of those who are unable to travel for their education. So they're forced to take these mediocre classes at the same cost as if they were actually given real life instruction. I'm not saying that online classes can't be a great thing for those who are short on time and such, but I am saying that it really can't take an awful lot of effort to be in charge of an online class. I mean any less energy committed to a class than my professors gave in school that I actually had to show up for would be a dangerous level of laziness.
