It’s about networking and doing the work. Not scrolling to end or leaving it running while you do other stuff then just doing a quick quiz. For example Dave Statter is a very well known media and PIO expert in the field. He teaches there, being able to ask him directly questions and engaging back and forth is worth it.

You're just proving my point. You can network more through social media. You can do the work at your own dept. Nothing you said brings any value that makes it worth taking those classes

Sure. “If we wanted to” your the kid at recess whose dad is “friends” with the local NFL player.
