As the students all over the world currently enroll in an online university, it is considered to be as one of the greatest challenges to build up a fairly good relationship with the professors. It is certainly evident that many online students enroll in an online program and then face the same challenge. We are sometimes across the state lines or even across the country lines from our professors so we do not have the ability or opportunity for a quick chat after a particular class or a visit during their office hours when we need additional insight.
