[nabs-l] In person versus online for the summer

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning,

         I ought to make clear my position of studying anything 
"On-Line" not being a good idea, particularly if you deeply care for 
the material. I mean, how is one expected to glean a deep and 
hands-on experience being steeped in the subject matter, being in a 
room with like-minded people, engaging in class discussions all 
On-Line? My belief is that things done On-Line aren't really real. 
that's all. Besides, the points you make about advantages to a 
virtually empty campus are, I think  valid ones. Those are my 
thoughts. Good luck!
for today, Car
