It is important to understand what online classes are and what they are not. On-line classes are not easy substitutes for on-campus classes. In fact, students find online classes as rigorous and demanding as on-campus classes. Students are expected to attend their virtual classrooms a specified number of times per week. All attendance is monitored. Times are flexible and dictated by students' personal schedules; nonetheless, their presence is required and recorded and counts toward final grades.
