“Advantages and disadvantages of the e-learning method”
Nowadays many people choose the e-learning to study their degree
because this can be a useful method of learning. However, it has
drawbacks too. We must look at both sides of the question.
On the one hand, the e-learning is more confortable than the tradicional
lectures since you don’t have to follow any timetable and, as a result, you
choose the moment you want to do the tasks. In fact, many students
combine their studies with a job.
On the other hand, you must be really responsible to organize your
study time. Moreover, although the e-learning allows you to comunicate
with your teachers by a forum, if you have doubts you can’t ask them
when you need it to be solved and so, the relationship with the teachers
is not as close as the tradicional way of learning.
On balance, I believe that the e-learning is a great option but only if you
are an organized person but, if you are a busy one, you should try this
modern tool as you can always return to the tradicional university.
