My favorite part about studying with SGI, is self-discipline. You don't have a lecturer to tell you when an assignment is due. In an online course, you can email a coach your questions directly. When answering, the coach provides you with a thorough understanding of what is expected of you. If you are trying to save money, this is a perfect solution. With SGI, you do all the work at your own pace. - Mandisa Siyo |
