I really think overall that the decision of choosing an online class depends on the student, the type of class, and the students work habits. I am a student that plans out when I am completing assignments and am not a procrastinator. I usually can take online classes due to my work habits and enjoy the flexibility of going to the online class at my own convience. I however have had some classes that I find far to hard to take outside of a tradtional classroom setting. I hope my pros and cons on taking an online class verus a tradtional class can be helpful to you while choosing classes.
