Are online courses easier than taking classroom courses?
No. You will spend as much time, if not more, on your distance class as you would for the same course taught in a classroom. Since you will not have a face-to-face relationship with your instructor, you might have to do some additional reading. The learning processes in a Distance Learning class are “learner centered.” There is no regular prompting by the instructor to read, study and complete assignments. You must be motivated and disciplined to learn. It is helpful to set a daily study and work schedule and stick to it. Distance Learning is not for everybody.
