: For those that don't know, there's been a big hoo-haw about Manziel taking
: classes at home. Apparently the older folk don't understand you can take
: legitimate classes online. I still got a good chuckle out of this, though.

Legitimate classes? Err, I suppose. In some majors, perhaps. But for others, there is no substitution for actual in-class time. It's not so much the direct interaction with the professor, but rather so that you are able to work and converse directly with others in-person.

Then again, his major is Sports Management, so that's kind of a joke anyways. *shrug*

(For the record, I took 3 classes online for a total of 11 academic credits crammed into 8 weeks. I graduated with my first B.A., only to then realize that I could pick up a second separate B.A. if I just another [summer] semester. All 3 courses were complete jokes. Now, YMMV, but I don't hold online courses in high esteem.)
