  • Possible career fields
  • Syllabus

Underrating the difficulty:

  • Thoughtful time management and discipline is required

Neglecting the technical specifications:

  • Student should meet the recommended requirement not the minimum standards as it can hinder their overall online experience
  • Hardware requirement: 250 gigabyte hard drive, headsets, webcam and internet
  • Software requirement: varies from institute to institute

Not researching the instructor:

Cheating on assignments:

Ignoring the red flags:

  • Earning the degree seems to be easy and fast
  • Pressure of enrolling into the classes
  • Program requires huge amount of money upfront

Working in an air bubble:

  • Though students don’t sit physically along with their classmates, a lot of interaction with the other students can be expected.
