The Pendulum - Online courses see increase in popularity

Online classes are a convenient way to get certain courses out of the way, said sophomore Christine Begley.
"Living out of state, the online course gave me the opportunity to take a class and still go home for the summer,
which was great," Begley said. "It's also taken away the stress of not graduating on time, which is something I
hope I'll now accomplish after fulfilling extra requirements at home."
According to Begley, she received just as much of an education with the online course as she has in the
classroom.
"It allowed for my schedule to be very flexible, especially during the working hours of my summer," Begley said.
