Online classes are not worth cost of full tuition
A couple of years ago, I was looking into MOOCs for tech education, Udacity&#x27;s nano degree in particular. I remember stumbling across a video on Youtube where some Udacity folks were discussing the merits of online education with college professors and admins.<p>What stood out to me was how vehemently the college folks were against online education. They were visibly livid - there was no way substituting a live class room environment with online education could be as effective, they shouted. They were obviously threatened - they did not want the world they were so comfortable with to change.<p>Now they are singing a different tune once they don&#x27;t have a choice - not only are colleges embracing online classes, they are trying to justify full cost for it too.<p>College students heading into the fall semester should take a gap year. I know I would.
