It was an online class? How do you fail an online class?

I'm guessing that there is a direct correlation between people failing online courses and the launch of cyclonefanatic.com...

[nj829]

he spent too much time seeing what the posters on CF were saying about him, got discouraged, and failed...

Believe it or not, online classes tend to be much more difficult than traditional ones. The level of personal discipline needed in order to do well is MUCH higher for an online class, and the availability and usability of resources is significantly less. Trust me, I've been there multiple times.

Its an online class, this is the type of bs I would expect from someone who fails an online class.

This ranks up there with..."its all politics"

Being a class short happens and people don't catch it right away; especially at some smaller schools. I think saying that he failed a class might not be correct.

[CycloneWarning]

Rony Nelson-Fell one class short of graduating, will reenroll this summer. Carlson and Hicks suspended by school for academics. Will be eligible to re-enroll this summer.

Can someone clarify? Didn't Hicks already redshirt in the fall since he was academically ineligible? Is this the same, or did he fail to achieve standards in the fall semester too and is now suspended again for spring practice?

[cyhiphopp]

That makes me feel better about Rony. It owuld have been nice if he could have participated in Spring Ball, but I'm glad he should be here this summer for workouts.

If he stays in Ames to take his Online class, what are the rules on where and with whom he can work out? Does he need to go Raquet and Fitness Club West?

If he only has one class to take, he can spend a lot of time at the Gym.

4429...that photo makes me think of the line from Ace Ventura "Laces out!"

Uhh... probably the hardest class for me personally in college was an online course. No professor, nobody to ask questions... I was extremely difficult.

[cyhiphopp]

Yeah, not all online classes are easy anymore.

[Tre4ISU]

CLARIFICATION- There was never mentioning of a "failed class." PR said he fell 1 credit short. That is all. I DO NOT KNOW THAT HE FAILED A CLASS.

Ok, I'll back off....the online course I took was very easy. It sounds as if others are more difficult.
