I love online now!

Ok, getting started was the hard part I guess with online homework, but it's actually much more pleasant to do homework this way. You can sit in one position for hours. There is never any reason to get up. You really don't need your book or notes or anything that could possible be inconvenient to retrieve!
I love it. It's harder to get distracted and it's even a little addicting this way. You'd think you would have issues on the comp because you could go surf the internet pretty easily right there, but the addiction to your studies keeps you from doing that.
With math, if you don't understand a problem, there is the option called 'Help me solve this'. It's brilliant. I almost feel guilty...muahahaha ;)
I know there are downsides to this such as having to worry about your comp working in the first place, but overall, I think online homework is truly wonderful.

Internet reliance

It's amazing how unorganized UM faculty can be! My math book is only available at the college of technology. I've already taken the shuttle there twice and they have been out of my book both times!
I need to do my homework. Without the course number(which comes with the book), I can't do my online assignments.
Math homework is only online. I guess it saves paper, but it also drives me crazy! I hate having to rely completely on a piece of machinery. We can recycle paper, you know!
French has stuff online too, with which I am also having some minor issues.
I may as well get used to this. It will only get worse, especially with the declining economy and rising concern for the environment.
I guess I am living in an age where people like me will have to make a bunch of phone calls just to start a stupid homework assignment.
