...So, even though I know it was partly tongue-in-cheek, when people point to the success of famous drop-outs, they often neglect to mention that these individuals were already gifted enough to be admitted to these top programs in the first place, or that they had a marketable business idea, or the contacts to pursue it. They were already some of the brightest we had to offer anyway.




...To add to your point, did you know that Will Smith was accepted to MIT on scholarship and turned it down? Amazing. Some people will always be successful no matter what field they pursue.

These aren't online courses. They are poorly planned online coruses there is a difference.

If you sign up for an online course you are getting a teacher who knows how to teach online and the tools to succeed. Students and professors who sign for online day 1 know what they are signing up for.

With this coivid you might get a teacher who doesn't know how to use the technology. Broken links or downloads. A schedule and deadlines that are in flux and not easy to follow or understand. I can say my online courses are not the same as they were in person. I've stories from my peers. Many college students right now are not getting a quality education.


Also I don't think the universities should refund the full amount full all those services. Students did use them some of the semester and this is unprecedented. So a partial refund pro rated seems fair but a refund whole semester seems a little much.

On the money.
