The idea that "online classes" are the bullshit, easy-credit classes is false. When I was doing my undergrad years ago I took one class, statistics, online because of a scheduling conflict. The only way my experience differed from that of a person sitting in the classroom was how my lectures were delivered. Otherwise, it was the same homework, same quizzes, same exams, same everything. (The lectures were also the same, actually, having simply been recorded and put online a day or two later.) Moving your body to a particular physical location has a couple benefits, to be sure, and the trick to online education is to try to make that ground up. It's certainly not fatal to the educational process. Why would it be?
