Not every class you like is the best for long distance learning. There are colleges that specialize in all kinds of distance learning and offer a wide variety of classes that way. The simple reaction to this is to believe that if a school is offering it that it must be as easy to learn online that it is to learn in the classroom. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
For many people math classes are much better in the classroom. Math concepts are explained well in online materials but for many that struggle with math the problem is that there are concepts easier to understand if someone is talking to them and they can have that immediate interaction with them. That would help them more than anything. So if you are not certain as to the kind of math you are taking, or don’t’ consider yourself a math person in the first place, then you might want to take the math class inside the school.
Something else to consider is getting yourself in the classroom for any sort of science. Certainly there are lab sciences that have to be done at least partially in school, but there is also a fair number of classes that people just need the interaction with the teacher. A slideshow is nice, but it won’t help understanding all the specific concepts that you need to know.
The online classroom is a great place but it’s certainly not for everyone. Make sure you are working tirelessly to take classes that are right for you.
