I’m currently enrolled in an online MS program, and I had never struggled so much in courses. The lack of social component might be what’s causing that. The material is mostly a recap of undergrad and things I already knew, so the coursework should not be so difficult for me, but it’s been incredibly difficult.
Then again, William & Mary had some incredible teachers, and maybe the online program through a different school just isn’t very good at designing assignments and teaching by comparison. But I feel that there was a difference in how I could succeed at challenging assignments when I was among other students in a social setting. The work in undergrad was highly rigorous, though exploring it alongside other real-life students made it a very different undertaking.
