My junior and senior year literally everything was online even though we went to class. It got to the point where I did not even take anything to school besides my tablet.

It's not going to be long before all courses are online with optional class meetings.

BS. Any lab based science class with a strong lab component cannot be taught online or done at home. No strong engineering classes should ever be done online due to the hands on nature of the classes.

Agreed. I feel like Thermodynamics would be even more difficult if taken online.

As someone with an engineering degree, I am guessing you had better teachers than I did, because I hardly learned anything attending engineering classes. Some TA's were decent but most of my professers were worthless as teachers in my opinion.

For me, the key to graduating was getting a hold of detailed solution manuals and old tests. Not for the sake of cheating, but I found it was the best way to teach myself how to do the homework and prepare for the tests.
