Online Course Pros:
- More Social (Which can lead to networking and classmates trying to recruit you at their workplace )
- The discussion forums are free points. Do simple replies on time and you get anywhere between 10-25% of your overall grade just from messaging on a forum board...
- Online courses can lead to better understanding of concepts if other students have prior experience with the topic
Online course con:
- If you don't have active classmates it can be impossible to reply to 2 classmates. Some teachers will take away points for this.
