It has been a semester since the University dropped the extra charge for online courses, and some teachers say the work ethic of students enrolled in these classes disappeared with the fee. The University dropped the premium for taking an online course for full-time, degree-seeking students in the fall semester of 2012. Since then, the grade distributions for many online courses have been more varied than they were previously. Melissa Hart, a finance lecturer for the Poole College of Management, teaches two live courses and two online courses. According to Hart, students believe online courses will be easier than live courses, but she warns this is not always the case. “It’s much easier to go to class than to tell yourself to make time for an online course,” Hart said.
