Three key points we dicussed about what to remember while online shopping were to shop with businesses you know and trust, so you wont get scambed, never send your credit card number or social security number by email because they could steal your identity, and look out for excessive shipping or hidden costs so you are not shoocked when they take more money, you need to know what you're truely spending.

Exam #4: Online Learning

Things that would make me a good online learner are that I am very good with deadlines, I can work well on my own, I'm good with computers, I am self-diciplined, and I am very comfortable communicating in writing. I believe that online learning might be good for me, and it's something I might check into doing next year. This way I will have a broader range of classes to take. Some things that I should probably improve on though are things like getting to know computers better and adjust to being alone.

I thought the article was very insightful. I think online learning could be very helpful for the students who work well like that; the ones that don't need anything hands-on. Personally, I think online learning would work for me, and I think I fit with the seven attributes that you should have for online learning. I'm good with managing time, I am able to set goals for myself, and achieve them, and I can communicate through writing very well.
