Taking online classes requires a different type of dedication. Often syllabi are received on the first day and little to no reminders for assignments are sent after. In order to be successful, writing down deadlines and working ahead of time is a must. Online classes come in a wide variety of shapes and forms. A common format is busy work quizzes and discussion posts. Most students can probably agree that commenting on multiple classmates’ posts provides little benefit to the learning experience. However, with proper formatting, online classes can be worthwhile. I took a series of literature classes online at my previous school where I felt I digested the material well. It consisted of a discussion post and an essay each week.
