Column: Online classes seem harder than before

Before COVID-19, I took an online course. It was pretty normal compared to in-person classes. Now, online classes seem impossible.

For some reason, there seems to be more work, harder assignments and a heck of a lot more stress. Why is that?

Why make things harder than they need to be? One class I am taking this semester is definitely one of the hardest classes I have taken in my two years at UofSC Aiken. There is so much homework and it takes so long to take the notes.

Many of my friends have taken online classes pre-COVID, and they also think they have gotten harder.

I personally might not be taking any more online classes after this semester. They are so much more stressful than the in-person classes.
