Answers

If you answered mostly A’s: Stay in a physical classroom setting.

You rarely need to do a double take in class because of your amazing sleep schedule or overuse of caffeine. You have a handle on things when it comes to time management and your studies, but you’d rather have an actual teacher to talk to face-to-face if you are having trouble understanding an assignment.

It is no secret that students learn more in a classroom setting and you want to know everything, so stay in there.

If you answered mostly B’s: Consider taking one online class.

You can go either way. Yes, you want to succeed and become super rich and whatnot, but you also do not feel like waking up for an 8 a.m. class. Being involved in a couple activities allows for you to donate some time each week for an online class so you don’t get too jumbled up with time.

If you answered mostly C’s: Load up on online classes.

Obviously, you can’t take all of your classes online, but you can rack up a good two or three. If you value sleep more than anything in the world, online learning is your calling. You can get the work done whenever you have the energy for it, whether it is post-nap at 3 p.m. or in the middle of the night at 2 a.m.

In addition, if you have no other time commitments, squeezing in these classes should be no problem. And it is no secret that online learning is slightly (or a lot) easier than physically being in a classroom. So if you are looking for a GPA booster, sign right up.
