Topic: Education

Thesis statement: Can online education be compatible with a traditional one?

These days’ online classes have become popular. Studying at your own pace, saving money and
being comfortable are some of the advantages of these classes. Students today are no longer in
need to attend schools. As a matter of fact, they can simply study from where they are. While the
use of online class may sound as a good idea for some, for others it is not.

When it comes to discipline and motivation, traditional education does have an advantage in the
eyes of many. Students in traditional, on-school settings have more opportunities to be reminded
of upcoming assignments, which can help if you tend to procrastinate on large, time-consuming
assignments. The traditional school experience consists of attending classes in student. Younger
students who are attending college for the first time could benefit from the traditional learning
environment. Younger students may need more guidance and more direct contact with professors
and academic advisors. Traditional classes may also be a better fit for students with limited
resources and limited facilities access. For the more “mature” student, the traditional educational
setting in the classroom may be a more comfortable fit. This option may also be better if the
student is returning to school for the first time in many years.

Despite technological advances, traditional education is still likely a better option for those who
thrive on face-to-face communication. Seeing and interacting with your instructors regularly can
be motivating for some it’s a little easier to go the extra mile if you know your instructor is
likeable and invested in your education. Traditional, in-class settings may also offer more
opportunities for spur-of-the-moment questioning or interesting tangents that may help a concept
“click” in the minds of students.

Online education, also referred to as distance learning involves taking courses over the internet
as opposed to in the classroom setting. Online education has become more popular in recent
years. This popularity is largely due to the flexibility and convenience that an online educational
experience provides. Online education provides an opportunity to take classes from the
convenience of home. In addition, online education provides more flexibility by allowing
students to work at their own pace without the confines of a strict class schedule. Online classes
tend to be more beneficial for students who work full-time and have additional family
responsibilities. Online course assignments can be completed at work, home, or anywhere you
can carry your laptop. This form of learning makes it ideal for students on the go. In addition to
flexibly and convenience, online courses can also be more cost-effective. Online schools are also
ideal for students in the military or have jobs that require frequent travel. Courses can be taken
from anywhere in the world. It was really interesting to interact with students from all over the
country. The increased flexibility of online learning comes with a bit of need to be highly self-
motivated. All college classes require students to keep up on required reading and assignments,
but some students may struggle to stay motivated when learning from the comfort of their home.
The best online students develop strategies for staying up to date on their coursework. Things
like setting aside time every week for studying and creating a workspace. Social interaction with
instructors and other students, while not as common in online courses, still happens regularly.
The biggest difference is in the form it takes, with many online student interactions happening
via video chat or through online discussion posts.

The key is to find the best fit for your personal needs. Education has proven to be the key to
success and it really doesn’t matter which method you choose. In competitive days online
education plays an important role in human life because they can learn many skills online from
experts. However, there is no disputing the flexibility and convenience of distance learning.
Online learning is a trend nowadays. It is also referred to as distance learning that involves
taking courses over the internet as opposed to in the classroom setting. Its popularity is largely
due to the flexibility and convenience that an online educational experience provides. Students
have found that online education takes a great deal of self-disciplined to complete the classes.
The open-ended classes where you have to complete the work whenever are truly difficult. Stick
with the ones with deadlines and more structure and things will be a lot easier. It is not for
everyone but you can get hands-on experience depending on the program your school has.
Although you do not have the face-to-face interaction, you still do have a lot of involvement with
your professors and other students through discussion online class projects, and weekly
assignments depending on how each class is set up. I highly recommend them for people who are
motivated enough to complete the program but are unable to attend traditional classes. I prefer
on-campus education than online education. I think education is not about to learn or gather only
textbook knowledge. It’s about to communicate the others, discuss, group work etc. Online
education means distance education. At present, it significantly spread all over the world. It has
some good result too. Many students doing well in the job sector who get knowledge from
online. But I like campus education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical
strength besides textbook knowledge. I think that traditional education is better. To me,
traditional education is better, A traditional method of teaching also important because students
can directly connect with teachers, students, and advisors.

Though online courses may offer some good benefits, they are still not right for young students.
One of the main challenges of an online course is that it requires a great deal of self-discipline,
and children are not the ones to do that. Many children would prefer an actual structure of a class
where materials are presented and the time is limited. For instance, some young students won’t
even move if they are not pressured with a limited time.
