text: Another benefit is that students will become more independent. Most students are used to being in a class where the teacher tells you everything to do. When taking an online class students will adapt to the new situation and be more self-reliable. Students will also have to get used to not having 30 classmates to help you out. At first this will be difficult for most students because a lot of the time students will rely on their classmates for assistance or answers, but it will help make them much more independent and intelligent.
