Many universities now offer academic courses over the Internet. However,
some people still prefer learning in traditional classrooms. Which do you think
is better? Explain why
It really depends on the student's time schedule and their budget, because traditional education is more expensive than the online course system, but In my opinion it is better to receive education the traditional way, in the classroom with the professor and with your peers. One reason for that is you get to interact and communicate face to face with the professor and with your colleagues. It makes possible to have detailed discussions, asking many questions and to cover many areas of the topic at hand. This will improve student performance and competence in the long run. Another reason why traditional education is better than online courses is because of its practicality. Traditional classrooms provides a hands-on experience for all students who need to learn from practical courses. The classrooms have the necessary equipment for practical study. In fact, there are many courses such as Chemistry, Biology, Dentistry, Medicine that require practical work like lab sessions and it cannot be achieved through online courses.
