I don't think many Professors or Universities structure online programs well. In my experience, many tried to structure online courses the same way as traditional courses - but that defeats the whole point of an online.
I worked while I was student, so I did a lot of onlines before the pandemic. The best courses were were completely self-paced, communications were conducted via email, and any video-calling or meetings were held at an agreed time, even if it was at night. The professors usually were working in their respective fields in some way as well as teaching. Some either understood how it works and how to teach it, some didn't (and were absolutely terrible to have.)
But regardless, you have to want to know the material and to go the extra mile for your studies, online or not. It is seriously an expensive, and stressful, privilege. So go at your own pace so you'll do well and not experience burnout and other issues, but don't waste your time and money. Just do what's right for you.
