StraighterLine - My costs so far
#16
Hi!
I have some peripheral knowledge of this topic.

If you were just getting a degree, and checking off course boxes, then online science should be fine.

Since you are planning on putting allied health science information you learned to practical use in a high risk / high consequence environment (like on people), you really should have taken them from a place such as a brick and mortar school.

The pace is slower and more regimented, and you can potentially receive a ton of feedback.

Some will take me to task and say, if you can learn it online, it's fine.

I agree with that.

However, if I were learning a trade, like you are, I'd want to do it with someone standing over me, and not necessarily where I buzz through some online materials and pop a few tests.

Especially dosage calcs and some A&P. I see people enrolled in those classes every day, and, they can be hard. Getting to look at a pair of lungs and trachea on a monitor doesn't really gel with them as well as when it's on a table in front of them, they tell me.

But I am sorry about the confusion as to whom will accept SL credits. It was enlightening for me, especially with current information.
