text: Additionally, getting side tracked is easier in online classes than in the classroom. While taking an online class it is extremely difficult to not get your focus taken about by other things occurring around you. In a classroom you are consistently being supervised by an adult making it easier to stay focused on classwork. Personally I have taken a few online courses and I find it difficult to meet deadlines for assignments and finals because the teachers don't push you to better yourself. The teachers will tell you when the final is and that is all they will do. Online classes shouldn't be taken by someone who finds time managment to be difficult. This can then bleed into not giving your all in classwork and eventually not learning material in the best way possible for yourself.
