Online course is advantageous to those people who doesn't have flexible time.You can have class at the time of your convenience.Traditional courses have definite time and if you'll get absent from meeting, you'll miss a lot. One advantage of Tradional courses is that you are evaluated well because there is a less chance to cheat.However, I think it all depends on a learner. Learning assessment in an online course could be effective to a responsible student. So, what do you prefer? Taking an online course or taking traditional course?

Online is way better for me to get through. I had a hard time trying to stay in classrooms all of my life. I'm so glad that universities are offering this. My mind is much more chaotic when I'm around people and that doesn't help me at all. I need to be able to concentrate on my work, not my fears.

I still prefer the traditional course. Real people are teaching in the course and you can see them face to face while in online course you can't talk to a person directly.

I would prefer a traditional course. Sometimes I find it easier to understand things when people are expressing it face to face with various situations and examples rather than just read about it in an online course.

i would still go for a traditional course.,basically because i want to be more focus on having an interactive discussion wherein i could ask my professor if i don't understand something.,online would be advantage for those who doesn't have enough time to go to school but i don't bite the idea of having that.,Ü have a nice day ahead! see you around!!!

Hi Ronslove, I'd personally prefer the traditional (classroom) training, rather than online. I'd be able to ask questions, discuss and interact in a classroom. Moreover, online courses mean a lot of self-discipline, which I lack.
