Online classes sure are difficult for students during these trying times. Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic going on, we also have to make it before that 11:59 p.m. deadline. Since we spend most of our time online nowadays, here are five YouTube channels that can help you find ways to cope with deadlines, make yourself feel comfortable with learning online and gain additional knowledge besides what was taught to you during classes.

1. Khan Academy

This channel has most, if not all, of your math lessons summed up by providing word problems and easier ways to solve them. Several teachers use this channel’s content as materials for our asynchronous activities.
