Sophomore Nina Kelban sees that the online learning is more independent. 

“I feel that with online learning, you are teaching yourself, and in school you are actually being taught,” Kelban said. 

There are many benefits to online learning, like working from home in a relaxing environment that can be less stressful than being in school. For Kelban, the easiest part of distant learning is the ability to do all of the work online and at a later time.

“I can do the assignments in my bed. Also there is a lot more freedom. You can either do your assignments earlier or later,” Kelban said.

Many students are finding distant learning to be easier than regular school. The periods are shorter, the assignments are straightforward, and the students get more breaks. 

Nearly all of the students are getting plenty of work for the shortened periods. However, Kelban said the time flies by and they need more time for certain assignments. 

“It’s less work, but it feels like more because of the shortened periods. A lot of times I feel like I need more time than I have,” Kelban said.  

According to Kelban, the level of difficulty of the assignments seems right — not too easy but not too hard.  “It’s a little of both. Some assignments are easier whereas others are harder,” Kelban said.
