If you will be pursuing online computer degrees, I can’t stress how important it is to have a reliable Internet connection. It is very important to your learning experience that there be no interruption during the download of important course files, or during those times when you are taking online examinations or listening to a lecture or presentation from your course instructor. Erratic Internet connections can make it difficult to view lectures or complete your coursework in a timely manner — so if you are using a slow or unreliable Internet service provider, be sure to make the change to a better level of service.
