I just finished my first semester at FHSU as a virtual student. This school is GREAT. At first I was a little hesitant after reading a lot of reviews - so I emailed the virtual student department and asked a lot of questions. Kevin L. Splichal, Student Success Coordinator for Virtual College replied right away and was extremely helpful. I decided to give it a try and I am happy I did. I did not have any problems with Black Board. Kevin told me they use to years ago but since the system has been upgraded there have been little to no problems. I had absolutely no problems with it. Professor Robert Moody is one of the best teachers I have ever had! I highly suggest Education majors take his foundations of education class. Not all teachers are as great, I did deal with one whom I think did nothing the whole semester. We were to read, quiz and test and that was all we did the whole semester. That class felt like a waste of money. However for the most part FHSU has been really good. They have your degree mapped out and easily lets you see what you need. Your adviser has to approve your schedule, and if he/she sees you signed up for one you do not need they will double check with you to make sure you know it is not needed for your degree. I'll be doing my second semester there in the spring. Highly recommend it.
