"In math, the e-mail system helps because students can write the problem out," Meade said. "This helps the students to better formulate their questions." "E-mail is a great way to improve student-to-faculty contact," Brown said. Professors can often reply to e-mail faster than phone messages, due to the fact that several instructors check and reply to their e-mail from home at night. Student opinion on the use of the Internet for class varies. ( "It's a convenient and wonderful resource for those who know how to navigate the network," freshman Patrick Mills said. "One major problem, however, is that I have several friends who don't know how to operate the software."

It's difficult, if not impossible, to tell if a student taking a test or quiz on the network is doing so honestly.
