  1. Yet another thing I would like to state is that as opposed to trying to accommodate all your online degree courses on times that you finish work (since most people are fatigued when they return home), try to arrange most of your sessions on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple of courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your end of the week. This pays off because on the week-ends, you will be far more rested plus concentrated on school work. Thanks a bunch for the different tips I have mastered from your website.
