All of my classes have been great and have kept me interested throughout the whole term; my current class is organizational behavior in criminal justice organizations. I am only 1 week in however it is very interesting.

Classes are usually around 30 people and the professor lectures, however, you are allowed to ask questions. This is a nice feature because if you are not sure about something you can ask to get clarification.

My classes are small, and there is a great interraction between the students and the instructors. Almost everybody get the chance to ask questions and the subjects are always informative, and interesting.

My classes at kaplan are challenging at times, but most of the time very enjoyable. The advisors generally work with you to get the classes that you enjoy the most but the general classes are required too. Most of the professors do their best to keep the class interested in the topic and to interact with the class on various areas of the topic. The only draw back to going to an online university is that you are not interacting in a physical classroom but an online classroom.

I have truly enjoyed all the classes I have had at Kaplan. They are all unique and different. I look forward to our seminars each week because I know it will be a time of learning and getting to know my professor and classmates. The professor make sure to enlist us during the seminar asking us questions about the chapter we are studying that week. The two classes I am taking this semester are SQL structured language and Management of information systems. In the SQL class we are designing a database using microsoft server express in the SQL language. In the management of information systems we are looking at the role information systems play in the world of business.

Classes at Kaplan are very interactive. In the online atmosphere the students are able to hear the instructor speaking and type responses just like in a chat room. My experience has been that the instructors are proficient in their teachings and are willing to take time to answer any questions the students have.

Going into Kaplan was a bit frightening at first because I thought that I was entering an unknown world that I was not really familiar with. I am proud to say that I love my classes as they are very convenient, easy to understand, easy to approach, and well organized. No one can get lost!

The classes are great. You log into your class room and it tells you what is required of you for that week in class. Each week you have a seminar. This is when you get to interact with everyone in the class and the teacher. The whole set up is on the internet which makes it so you can relax and enjoy what is being taught.

As with any school, you have to be motivated in order to do well. With online classes, there is very little interaction with other people. It requires that you are able to read and work on things by yourself. The professors are available via e-mail, chat rooms, and instant messaging, though. This works well for me.

The classes at Kaplan are broken up into 10 weeks. Each week you have an assignment. The assignment will consist of reading and posting answers to that weeks questions on the discussion board. Each primary post has to be 350 words, and you must respond to two classmates per post with 100 words each. This allows you to have conversation about the topic, and this is where I learned a lot from my classmates. You will then have a few projects spread out throught the term. We also had an hour seminar each week, where we could hear the professor and see their power point presentation. There is an area to the side where you can type in questions, comments, and answers to the professor's questions. I always enjoyed the seminars, because that was when I could interact, live, with my classmates.

I take two courses every term. On my degree plan I have required courses that I must pass in order to finish my degree and then there are electives . Most the courses at Kaplan University are challenging and I like that about the school. In my courses thus far, class participation is a key component to passing the course. However there has been a rare course that was an easy A. Normally though my class is difficult yet enjoyable and useful in the end.
James
I have learned a lot since attending school with Kaplan. The course material is easy to comprehend and fun to learn. The professors are great about explaining everything each week.
Being a criminal Justice major it can be difficult at time to absorb all of the material. The classes at Kaplan make it very easy to read and understand all of the courses. The discussion board also helps to reiterate what is important each week in the course.
Angela
I currently have two classes per ten week semester. This semester I am taking Criminology 101 and Client Relations in Corrections. My Week or Unit begins on Wednesday at 12am and ends the following Tuesday at midnight. We have one weekly live seminar where we log into a chat room with fellow students. We can hear the professor give his lecture and can participate through a chat window. We can hear the professor but he can't hear us and we can't hear eachother. We can communicate with our fellow students during seminars through the chat window or through IM. The seminar lasts an hour and covers all the information learned in the unit for the week. We have quizzes and essay assignments on top of discussion board questions that we must respond to throughout the week. The classes are fun and easy and the teachers are always there to help out.

They are always joyful and serious.
