Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

Classes are great. Each week we have chapters to read, discussion boards to participate in, assignments, and quizzes; I love the technology center where we can get help from a tutor, and the can see our desktop and what we are working on. You have to have a lot of self control to do online classes, because it is very easy to procrastinate. Luckily for me, I have always been fortunate enough to get my work in on time, without any difficulties.

Classes are very pro-active. They are made to be interesting and highly informative.

I am in my senior year in accounting so it is really getting difficult now. I am taking financial statements analysis and advanced corporate taxes. It's actually not too bad. My last class, cost accounting was horrible. I got my first B ever! Gina

Say goodbye to those early morning when you are completely stressing out over running late. You have nothing to wear, coffee isn't ready yet, you need a shower, and you're out of gas. Online, you are able to wake up and study at your own pace. Most courses have one seminar per week that is one hour long. At the most, I've had 2 seminars per week for each class at an hour long per seminar. There are usually multiple seminar times for you to choose from, so that you can work around your own schedule. Don't forget, that you can stay at home in your own relaxing environment that best suits you for learning. When you attend seminar, the Professor has a powerpoint presentation ready for the class to view. You can hear her voice, and type back to her or fellow students during the lecture. If the Professor feels that students are getting a little too off task with their side-bar conversations, then s(he) can disable that option. S(he) is still able to receive our questions, but the students cannot, unless s(he) shares it with the class. These seminars are also recorded so that if you are unable to attend, you can go back and listen to it.

I attend class online for Accounting. I love my classes, and using the online platform makes submitting my assignments a breeze. There is a discussion topic each week where we can interact with our peers and get everyone's point of view on the subject matter. You can access class anytime of day or night, which only adds to the convenience of being an online student; classes really fit into your schedule!

Most classes at Kaplan University are set up in the same format. Each week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. You have a Discussion Board which you make an initial post to by Saturday, then you respond to two classmates initial posts on two different days to earn full credit. You have a Webinar for 1 hour, and usually an Assignment which can be either a MSWord doc. essay, MS PPT project or MS Excel doc. depending on your course. You may have a quiz assignment also. Usually the course work is all open book which is a big help with the quiz assignments.

My classes are very engaging and require diligence in order to get all work required done for the week. The professors are very intelligent in the classes they teach. The work required is managable if time managemnet skills are used. The online environment is also very good for me because of many factors. The classroom website is very easy to navigate.

Classes are a one hour discussion every week on the information we are reading for the unit. We have a interactive lecture with our prof and they are always willing to answere questions for any student. they make sure every student understands the material before moving too far ahead. the classes are interesting as well as fun to be in, interacting wtih the other students and in the process making new friends.

The classes are Kaplan University online are easy to navigate. Everything is labeled clearly to find what it is you are looking for. If you have a hard time professors are easy to contact and there is always tech support that you can chat with "live" as well. Classwork is not overwhelming and weekly seminars are very helpful.

The classes at Kaplan are really enjoyable and I have loved taking all of my seminars online. I rarely miss a class because that is the easiest grade you can get. If you don't attend the seminar, then you have to do what is called option 2, which is usually an essay type question or several questions. Each class I have been in has not been hard at all. I have attained a 3.98 cumulative GPA since March of 2010. I have been on President's list for every term except two. I really enjoy all of my classmates and professors. I have had a couple of professors whom I have had trouble getting emails to and responses from them, but for the most part I have enjoyed every professor I have had. Each one has been a positive influence to me and makes us feel good about ourselves and pushes us forward.

Depends on the class. Some professors actually know what they're doing while others make you wonder.
