text: Although the one-on-one interaction may be present through video conferencing, students tend to struggle more because it's not the same as being in a classroom environment. For example, I took Economics and Personal Finance as an online course during July 2019. This class was strictly online and in order to contact my instructor, I had the option of calling or emailing him. The course had one hundred and sixty modules and grades were determined through five assessments. I took an exam for each quarter while the final test would be taken when I terminated the course. Even though I passed the class, it was difficult with me to stay on track with the lessons since I couldn't understand the topics. Whenever I would contact my instructor for help on a certain lesson, his explanations confused me more. Additionally, in mid-July, I received a call from my instructor saying that I wasn't completing the quarter exams, even though I had proof that showed the opposite. If this would've been in a classroom setting, teachers can track with more precision what students are struggling in. Having someone explain something to you side by side is more helpful than seeing content through a screen and understanding it through that perspective, which may not be suitable for students who see another approach on things. Being in a classroom provides more benefits than online or video conferences.
