Introduction
Online Classes
You take a much more active role in the learning process.
Much more of the responsibility falls on your shoulders.
Don’t have the luxury of the classroom environment where you
can hear other students questions or instructors responses.
Online courses online classes – in my view – are harder for
students not easier.
