Online Classes

Greetings,
There was an interesting article in the NY Times about online classes:

One of the things that's really interesting about online programs is the attrition rate.  As the New York Times notes, large online classes are great for motivated students.  Other students get discouraged so it's not a "one size fits all" kind of solution.  Until next time, catch me in the library.

Consumer Protection and Student Loans

Greetings,
There's a really fascinating article in the Chronicle about student financial products:

Thanks to Stephen for passing this along.  Anyway, you have to be careful when you sign on the dotted line for this sort of thing and definitely watch out for hidden fees!  Until next time, stay warm and safe during this storm.
