Traditional in-Class Course or Online Course

In our modern days, higher education is becoming more accessible as people are provided with different ways of learning. Along with the traditional classroom settings with a teacher, a distance-learning course through a computer is also an interesting option. In my opinion, taking online courses is more favorable.
Undeniably, a traditional course has its certain benefits. Teachers are available to answer the students’ questions right after each lecture. Also, for any problem unanswered yet, you can discuss with your classmates. Furthermore, a traditional classroom setting seems suitable for most people because not many computer skills are required. However, online courses have increasingly been chosen for many reasons.
One advantage of distance-learning courses is convenience. For people who are busy, those courses offer a flexible schedule. After finishing some simple steps of registration, you can access to the lectures at any time. Besides, all assignments are given and submitted via the Internet, so you are not required to attend classes every day. Consequently, you are able to decide the study timetable to match with your work schedule. For example, my sister wants to take a higher degree to improve her chance of getting promoted while managing to work eight hours a day. Therefore, an online course is convenient for her as she can study at night or on weekends.
Another advantage of taking online courses is it helps in personal development. There will be no teachers reminding you to focus on classes or finishing your assignments. Moreover, you have to review the lessons on your own. As a result, you have to manage your time wisely to accomplish all the exercises before the deadlines. Gradually, you will become more independent and self-discipline as well as your computer skills and time management will be enhanced.
Personally, distance-learning courses by computer are preferable because they are convenient and helpful in personal development. Although
