As I studied through college the majority of my classes were traditional, taking place inside the classroom. However, a number of different classes were actually more convenient for me to take online over the summer as I went off to work or involve myself in internships. For me the online classes were actually a very enjoyable experience that offered me increased flexibility to learn and be tested. However, there were some key takeaways I learned in order to succeed in the classes.
