Meet Jeanette: Student, Wife, and Future Defense Attorney

Jeanette Cox, 35

Dalton State College

BS in Criminal Justice

Expected Graduation: December, 2016

What is your occupation?

I am currently a full-time college student and housewife!

What class(es) are you currently taking with eCore/eMajor?

I just finished a Corrections class this semester and am finishing up Criminal Law.

Why is completing your degree important to you?

I want to go on to law school. I already had an Associate’s Degree and I needed to finish up with the Bachelor’s so I could go on.

Why did you choose to take online classes through eCore/eMajor?

I began my entire first semester back to college with eCore. They offered all of the pre-requisite classes that I needed and it meant I would not have to drive 45 minutes to my college. They always have the classes that I need and I can take them on here when the times offered on campus do not match up with my availability!

How would you describe the instructors you've had in your eCore classes?

My instructors have always communicated very well with me. I always know what is expected, assignment deadlines, and they are also always available to help with any questions that I have.

What has been the best thing about taking online classes?

Online classes allow me to work on the material when it is convenient for me to do it. I do not have to drive and waste time and it has actually allowed me to be able to take more classes at one time because of the time it has saved me from driving back and forth.

When you're not doing school work, what are you doing?

I have lots to do when I am not doing school work! I enjoy hunting and fishing. I also teach a children’s Sunday school class with my husband. We teach Children’s Church, as well.

What would you say to someone who is considering taking their first online class through eCore or eMajor?

I say they should do it! I have learned so much from my eCore and eMajor classes. They have helped me with other classes that I have taken on campus. If you have the time to spend and invest in your education, I highly recommend these programs. I do not think I would be graduating at the end of this semester had these classes not been available to me online!

3 Things to Consider Before Taking an Online Class While Overseas

Online Learning allows students the flexibility of continuing their educational journey from anywhere in the world. Online classes are an excellent option for students who are studying abroad for the semester, military members and families who are stationed overseas, or even those who want to take classes while traveling for pleasure. While online classes can usually be accessed from anywhere with a reliable internet connection, there are some things to consider before registering for class if you intend to complete the course while located outside of the U.S. Availability of a Reliable Internet Connection To access most online classes, students must have a reliable internet connection. This may be a challenge in some areas of the world due to various issues such as local network instability, outages, firewalls, or restrictive local internet policies.

March Freebie: No Application Fee for Most USG Colleges and Universities

Free applications are back at more than 20 institutions in the University System of Georgia.

Let’s Get Ready for Finals - 8 Secrets For Success

For many students, just the thought of final exams and projects brings anxiety and distress. This stress can be self-defeating, as studies show that over-worry related to exams can make it more difficult to retain information (Young, 2022). But with proper preparation and a positive mindset, students can set themselves up for a grade-boosting finale. Obviously, re-reading the material (or practicing problems) is a necessary ingredient for high achievement on exams. Assuming that just about everyone reviews the materials to some extent, let’s consider what practices can set you apart. Get calm. First and foremost, your best bet is to worry a lot less. For most USG eCore and eMajor courses, the final exam or project only represents a relatively-small portion of the grade. It helps to calculate the exam score you will need to achieve the grade that you are seeking. For example, if the final exam is worth 15 percent and you have an 87 in the course, you would need a 107 on the final to
