text: Taking online classes is relatively new, many students choose to take these online classes to either get ahead in their work or prefer taking classes at home because they are more comfortable learning in an environment they are comfortable in. For example, many students would take physical education online during the summer so they would have a free slot to take an elective the following year. A study shows that students who decide to advance themselves in their school work have a higher chance of getting into a great university. Students might also take online classes because they feel they would learn better and concentrate since there would be less distractions than at school. Taking an online class is also quite expensive, a regular class would approximately cost $400-700, not everyone can afford to take an online class. A professor took a poll of why students took online classes, and 40% of them said they do not feel comfortable learning in an environment that is full of distractions.
