Both online education and its traditional counterpart have pros and cons, so it’s important for students to understand what to expect before they step foot or log into the classroom. A benefit to taking online courses is that they offer flexibility to the student. This is a great option for those who already have time commitments with family and work. Online class will mold with your schedule and allow you to log into your online course at a time that works best for you, as opposed to having to attend a lecture at a specific time. But traditional teaching is the best option for students who have a little more freedom in their schedules. The increased flexibility of online teaching will urge the student 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 structured schedule of attending class a handful of times per week and having routine face-to-face interactions with instructors can help keep students on task.
