If it’s like they’re regular online classes it won’t.
My wife needed a single class to be admitted to a new masters program at USU. BYU had the cheapest online option. She dropped it after a week. First the class was poorly structured, with tests not based on the book. But the final straw was when she asked to speak with the listed teacher to try and figure out how to improve, she was told they don’t allow you to speak to the teachers. You just ask questions in a message board.
She’s taking it from Weber state now, it’s more expensive, but a much better class. And one where the teacher encourages you to contact her.

For missionaries who have no access to education this is huge and obviously will be pushed for those who don't. Further information notes missionaries who want will also be taught English to participate.
It isn't a suitable platform yet for others out there but if you are from a third world country this may be a big next step.
I'll also add that I'm not necessarily surprised by Diehard's wife's experience but that this will improve a great deal over time. Look at LDS Business College or BYU-Idaho. Heck, even BYU-Provo was kind of a joke educationally as little as 30-40 years ago.

Friends, join me in stuffing the ballot box for "Amazing Grace" and "This Land is Your Land". Also, let's trim the fat of the super obscure hymns that tyrannical music leaders love to pick.

I'm kind of surprised they wouldn't put this behind the lds.org login... it may solicit some interesting responses being open to the public.
Or........just sing the ones you want and answer email/text during the others. Hey, as a former jock, I can't be bothered with choosing hymns.

I assume some of the LDS deep cuts are on the cutting block. I'm in favor of nixing "If you could hie to Kolob".
How about “Old Time Religion?”
Give me that old-time religion
Give me that old-time religion
Give me that old-time religion
It's good enough for me
It was good for our mothers
It was good for our mothers
It was good for our mothers
And it's good enough for me
It has served our fathers
It has served our fathers
It has served our fathers
And it's good enough for me
Makes me love everybody
Makes me love everybody
Makes me love everybody
And it's good enough for me
It will take us all to heaven
It will take us all to heaven
It will take us all to heaven
And it's good enough for me

I considered "We Shall Overcome" in addition to "This Land", but I figured one hippy folk song was enough.
I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of current primary songs get added to the new hymn book

I think all the songs in the soundtrack of O Brother Where Art Thou should be included. Man of Constant Sorrow lyrics may not fit well, but it definitely has a hymn-sounding title.

So many excellent gospel songs, especially those with a bluesy bent. For example, the 1930's Blind Willie Johnson song, John the Revelator. You tell me that your standard issue ward meeting wouldn't be so boring if some of the gospel music was imported. Imagine your ward organist playing some of the hammond organ parts on these types of songs.
Despite this guy’s LDS-sounding name, he is not at BYU.

I don’t really care about this issue at all, so I am just posting this to inflame SU and others here. Call me a troll, but I’m a friendly troll and full of love for those whom I am trolling.
Yes world, there were horses in Native culture before the settlers came

Also, since this information resulted from the work of a non-LDS Native American scholar, anyone who questions it is probably a racist.
