As the title suggests, even on-campus students prefer online classes. Telling, though, is the account of why they prefer online classes: "I take convenience over lectures," she said. "I think I would be bored to death if I took it in lecture." Some professors, of course, are miffed. "People shouldn't be sitting in the dorms doing this rather than walking over here. That is based on a misunderstanding of what matters in history." One wonders, though, how being bored in a lecture is what matters in history.
