I love taking classes online. In some ways it's easier than attending a class - don't have to sit through boring lectures or put up with all the petty distractions. On the other hand, it can be more difficult - being self-disciplined enough to study and complete the assignments.

Some don't like online classes because they thrive on the idea-exchange that goes on in class. Online classes compensate for that by having chat rooms or forums like this one.

I have taken online classes and am getting ready to do a Master's online. I will also be teaching online classes, which I'm a little nervous about yet excited about at the same time. All my teaching so far has been in person, so this will be a new adventure!
