Online classes earned high marks from law students in a new survey, suggesting that remote learning has improved over the past two years and can be as effective as in-person instruction when done right, Reuters reports. Among survey respondents who took online classes, 76% rated the courses as good or excellent. That is a shift from early in the pandemic, when research found that law students were largely dissatisfied with online classes. The Law School Survey of Student Engagement also asked about the frequency of online classes: 70% of respondents said their classes were mostly in person this past year, 10% said they were mostly online and 20% said they were a mix of both. Finally, the survey identified two areas where online classes fell short: online students were less likely to feel supported by career services and fewer reported having positive relationships with their classmates.
