It is really hard for students to do online education.
I majored in Econ/Quantitative Methodology (now called Quantitative Analytics). I was strong in math. I didn’t find college hard. I went to class. I read the assignments. I never studied for tests. My view was if I didn’t learn it already what was staying up late and boring myself going to do for me. I didn’t let Finals in the fall semester get in the way of Dollar Pitcher Night
What a class schedule did for me was provide structure. It put a professor in front of me I had to show enough respect and courtesy to pay attention. I’m not sure how well I would have done with time management online at eighteen years old.
My son took a couple of summer school classes online while playing college summer ball. He said it was hard to wake up and be disciplined to do the work on his own every day and not fall behind.
