Online college classes that were adapted very poorly from "live" classes. My Speech class this semester is driving me crazy. It's an online branch of the school, for heaven's sake. How the heck am I supposed to know the demographics and extrapolate how that is going to affect them as an audience? Online students come from all walks of life, are all ages, cultural backgrounds, etc.
There are all sorts of scenarios we're supposed to discuss about how we'd react in different classroom situations if we were giving a speech. I haven't been in a classroom in 25 years! Nor do I want to be, that was the main attraction of online classes for me in the first place. *Bangs head on desk*.....
