text: Any class requires students to be able to apply what they know with assignments and tests. Luckily, students online can do this easily with assignments and assessments embedded into their courses. There are many types of assignments that can be assigned with due dates because of the many things that can be done online. For example, in my history class we got a variety of assignments like writing essays, making a podcast, filling out graphic organizers, making slideshow presentations, and more. There are so many online devices that could be used for these type of assignments such as Microsoft Word, Google Slides, Google Drawings, and voice recorders. These are even used in classrooms everyday to do assignments, so online students get access to the same things that schools use. For test taking, there is often a system that online students have where they don't have access to any other tabs online to avoid cheating, and they get timed to represent how tests in school are often timed as well. Online classes are treated fairly in this sense where students don't get an advantage of being on the Internet to help them on tests, just like how it would be in school. Online students being able to do assignments similar to students in school makes online classes require just as much work and dedication as a normal class has.
