I did two semesters, HD's pretty easy. The main reason I enrolled was for the imaging units. I walked away after 6 weeks of the first one. Extremely disappointed. James Cook Uni has an online one you might want to look at.
As a professional educator and teacher of 20 years experience as well, it never ceases to amaze me how universities can continue not to teach.

You've run into the wrong types in a course and they've hammered you down. It's a pity, but you do get effete snobs like that in some course and unis. JCU has a very good course and I would recommend it to anyone. It also depends on what you like...you did it for the imaging bits, but found something lacking. You should've said so to the lecturers. However, in so far as the rest of the courses were structured, you may not have had any interest in the other subjects...I don't know.
Some people find trying to do an online course difficult because they like that personal interaction....the distractions....of doing an on campus course. Others can work through both, whilst others are better off doing it on their own. Like I said to David, being on campus is not the great shakes some make it out to be. They probably spend most of their time in the clubs and doing "extracurricular" activities
. That's why they like it.
