**17. How society perceives online courses**

Society has different views of online courses. A few people see online courses as not being as good as traditional courses because they are not in person. Others might view them as more convenient because they can be done at one's own pace and time. Some employers might judge them as inferior to traditional classes but others might consider them as a more convenient option for employees [29]. There is no right or wrong response. It just depends on the individual's preferences. Overall, society sees online courses as an acceptable way to learn new information. However, some people may not be comfortable taking a class online.
