There’s a good and bad side to every kind of class. Here’s a short pros and cons list I’ve compiled for online classes:

Pros to Online Classes:

Brownie points:

You can get brownie points by meeting your professor in person, that is, if they care about their students. If not, then it’s just kind of awkward…

Moving at your own pace:

You could possibly finish the course early, or work the whole course out during Thanksgiving break, or, well, any other free time you have. If you like to keep on top of your class work, then this would work out for you if you trick yourself into thinking every deadline is a month in advance.

Not leaving your bed:

This doesn’t have to be explained. Who wants to get out of bed?

It's usually easier:

Online classes could be easier, unless you’re not good at teaching yourself concepts and keeping yourself accountable for your deadlines and classwork.

Cons to Online Classes:

It's harder to talk to the professor:

Since you don’t have a physical class to go to and you have a lot of questions, you may end up emailing them often and this could result in you harassing your professor to the point of them hating you.

Forgetting work:

You might forget to turn in your work since you don’t have the advantage of having classmates to talk to and meet up with after or before class. If you must schedule your own tests you might forget to do them if you schedule them as you go or if you preschedule them all but on different days and times.

Finishing the course late:

If you’re already forgetting your classwork, then you might end up not even finishing the course and ending with a bad grade. If this happens then make sure to drop that class like a hot potato.

I hope this small pros and cons list helped you and make sure to keep your eye out for Spring/Fall Semesters: Physical Classes!
