A typical day of college classes may involve rolling out of bed, rushing to collect books and homework while scrambling out the door, trying to make it to class on time. Many students are aware that taking classes online can relieve the hustle and bustle of a day of on-campus classes. Lisa Westwood, a professor of anthropology, thinks many students underestimate the workload that accompanies an online course, she said. “Many students have the assumption that online classes are somehow less challenging than face-to-face class,” Westwood said. “This is simply not the case. Because online classes generally allow for open-book exams, the instructor has to compensate for that.”
