Reflection On Mount Wachusett Community College

The spring 2015 semester at Mount Wachusett Community College was my first attempt at higher education and all four of my classes ended up being online. Initially, only three of my classes were web-based, but being without a vehicle and facing winter weather, I dropped a class in Leominster and picked it up again as a cycle two course.
