Attending in-class lectures while taking the online (distance education) version

Bull
edited September 2014 in General
I'm taking Crim 230 online (distance ed.) with Verdun-Jones and the Crim 230 (offline) class is on my day off. Do you think that attending the lecture will help me or will it be a waste of time considering that I'm taking it online? I've never taken an online class before so I'm unsure if this is a good idea or not.

Thanks!

    You won't need the lectures if you're taking CRIM 230 online, trust me. It was the most straight forward class ever

    Generally you won't need to take the same class in different version. The first reason is you won't have enough time to deal with 2 assignments at a time with 2 same courses, it's waste of time. 2nd, it's waste of money.

    Okay, thanks Crimematic. I've never taken a distance education course so I wasn't sure how much it would help.

    And Pancake, what I meant is that I have the option to sit in on lectures (without actually being enrolled in the class) only to listen to the prof. Thanks for the input though!

    Bull, keep it as a back-up plan if you're finding the distance class difficult for absorbing class content. People learn in different ways, and lectures might be useful.

    Okay, thanks for your comment!
