For Shafer, the St. Bonaventure English professor, that definitely meant more work and research. But he said the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. For example, he doesn't have to worry about classes getting canceled during a blizzard. And best of all, the student and teacher take the class on their own time. People have very busy lives.
Online courses make it very convenient for people.
You'd be amazed how many people are up at 2 in the morning. I like online courses. They're much more convenient. You miss some things, but you gain some things. If people are serious, they can work just as good as an in-class course.
