I have not yet done any in depth research, but I did decide to ask a couple of my friends what they thought about online and hybrid writing classes. One of my friends had never had an online writing class so I showed him the kind of work we did and our assignments. He explained to me that he really liked how all the deadlines were right there in front of you because he always had a hard time remembering when stuff was due. He said that the hybrid class looked much more intreging and would help him concentrate a lot better since he could do everything by himself. I have to agree with him, in our hybrid class the links are there for us to see and since I'm such a visual person it really helps me to see the assignment and re-read it if I need to.
Another one of my friends had a complete online writing class for composition one. She said that she personally felt is to be a little more difficult because if she didn't understand the assignment it wasn't like she could go to the teacher the next day. I think this is also true. Some writing assignments are difficult to comprehend so asking the teacher to explain more might just mess you up even more. That's why I really enjoy the hybrid classes because you are able to ask the questions you need but then again you are still on your own.
