is it, "this will be beneficial to the class and me" or "this will be beneficial to the class and I"
then why would you put "this is beneficial to me" and not I, yet with two things you do use I

'I' is only used in the subjective case ( basically and most cases in front of the verb). 'Me' is used in the dative and nominative cases.

"This will be beneficial to the class and me."
"This" is the subject of the sentence, so "I" is right out because "I" is always the subject. Beneficial is the verb and "the class and me" are the people who will be benefited.

The helpful test for I or me, is to just use one in the sentence, you wouldn't say, this will be beneficial to I.

"This will be beneficial to the class and me" is correct for the reason you stated, that is, because "this is beneficial to me" is also correct.

To find out, remove "the class."
This would be beneficial to I??
No. This would be beneficial to me.
It works with any sentence.
Sam and I went to the store. Or, Sam and me went to the store. By removing "Sam" you get: I went to the store. or: Me went to the store. The correct choice is obvious.

one rule of thought - - -
you wont go wrong
remove the first thing you are using
example "John and I like the same girl."
remove the word John, repeat the sentence.
if it sounds better with I, then use I if it sounds better with me, use me.
in your case it would be "this will be beneficial to the class and ME"
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN..

"I am the subject of the sentence, but the object of the sentence is me."
This quote helps me to understand the actual grammatical rule for why we use "I" or "me."
The fact is that having two or more people listed has nothing to do with how it works. It all depends on whether you are the subject or the object of the sentence.
Also keep in mind that you do not have to list yourself last in a list. "My friend and I" is no more grammatically correct than "I and my friend." It is simply considered to be polite to list yourself last.

"to the class and me"
"Me" is a pronoun used in place of an object. "I" is used as a subject. Since in your sentence "This" is the subject, you know that the pronoun you want is taking the place of an object. Another clue to this is that it follows the preposition "for".
