Tests vs. Classes in a perfect world - PonyGirl93 - 11-01-2010
So, in a perfect world where all you had to study were subjects that interested you, you had unlimited fantastic resources at your itching fingertips, you could take as long as you want to study for tests, etc., would you opt for tests or classes?
Oh, and the perfect world scenario goes for online classes too. Great teacher who gives wonderfully interesting assignments, grades almost instantly, guides you along and gives great feedback.
They're both free.
Which would you choose?

Opt for tests for all but the most interesting and fun/engaging topics and those where class assignments (I like writing papers as a learning mode, but it's time consuming) are most beneficial.
If in addition to your wonderful fantasy scenario I didn't have to work, then opt for classes and only take classes that meet the above criteria.
