So she is going to take Study.com courses as well - she can easily do much more than the PT schedule they have her on. I'm sure that's true for others as well - they are not taking a full course load and could fit in some additional credits, especially with no deadlines and papers to turn in.
You can take 3 classes per 8 week term and it's a LOT of work. You have discussions and responses every week along with a paper for each class. There are Thursday and Sunday deadlines every week.
