Not that I don't believe it, but from experience and friends, I feel online classes are easier. Obviously this isn't an across the board case, but generally I believe it to be true. 2) The "78% of consumers trust peer recommendations, where only 14% trust advertisements", seems to make a ton of sense. And for me really reinforces the power of social media networks. Great video. Pretty interesting set of facts.
