...I think whether it is online learning or traditional class learning both should be taken into consideration when planning to further education. I personally did not consider the facts when I decided to further my education. I had started out in a traditional classroom but soon after realized it was not the right choice. It was hard to fully apply myself when I was attending a traditional classroom because I was a working wife and mother. Online learning and traditional learning will show that both of these are great options depending on who the student may be and which educational program the student has chosen. Online learning and traditional learning each have their merits and faults.Online degrees have become a perfect option for individuals who may not be able to enroll in a traditional classroom. When you compare the two learning classes, the biggest difference is that students studying online have the flexibility to attend classes at their own pace and time. In a campus-based classroom they require that students attend class a certain number of times every week, at specific times. Traditional class learning may not be the option for people who have children or work long hours. Learning online would be a better option for these people because they can make their own schedule for when they will attend class. Both online and traditional classes give students the opportunity to interact with other students and their professors. With a traditional classroom you can interact...

...Vanesa Barnett WRT 101S CRN: 12918 Professor Hellman 29 September 2015 Struggling an Online Class Who knew the first day of my sophomore year in high school I would find myself in a situation that I thought I would not be able to handle on my own? My Honors World History class was changed from a class taught by a teacher to a class taught by a computer. Yes indeed, they had changed my regular class to an online class instead. The principal had informed us it was last minute changes made by the school board. The school board had thought it would help us learn the material better. It took my classmates and me by surprise. I had never agreed to have this class online but had no choice but to stay in it. The counselors had advised me that I was not going to be able to move to a different class because they said moving from an honors class to a regular class would affect me. It would look bad on my transcript; therefore, it was not going to be recommended to move. As we started the class, I could tell this class wasn’t heading anywhere good. The way the system was set up was messed up. How it was set up so last minute everything was so unorganized. The program that we used for the class was confusing and slow. The teacher would have to assign each test/quiz/assignment to do them. It took forever to finish each assignment because the teacher was always so busy and each student would always be attacking her to assign the work for them. The principal felt bad about the decision...

...r Online Classes over Traditional Education Albert Houdek University of Maryland University College Online Classes over Traditional Education Technology has become the focal point of our society. Not only has it taken over our lives but our education system as well. Traditional education used to be the only way to get a formal college education. How times have changed in just 30 years. Online education has busted onto the scene and brought a new wave of education with it. Online classes are a little scary when it comes to the idea of how easy it is to forget about it and just not do your work. Online classes still need to be taken with the same level of seriousness as traditional schooling. Many times what makes life easier is what makes us the most complacent. Online schooling is the greatest educational achievement of the last thirty years. Online classes has made it possible for single parents, full time employees, and even military members to get the education they desire regardless of their busy schedules. A lot of people fear public speaking or participating in class and it really affect and damage their grades. Online courses have online discussions and take the anxiety out of participating. Online classes should be favored more than traditional learning due to time management, participation, and teacher-student relationships. Both online and traditional education courses also assess student participation. In traditional classes, students voluntarily participate...

...Online Education vs. On-campus COM/170 3/9/2015 Online Education vs. On-campus Online classes require a lot of responsibilities, but give students the time and space that he or she needs. (Paul, 2003) Most universities now offer a plethora of on-campus courses for students to choose from. However, many students are not able to take campus-based courses due to distance or timetabling limitations. An important option for such students has always been distance education; Sometimes students ask the question if online classes are better than on-campus classes, and because they do not do the necessary research, their lack of information put them away from something that could be helpful for them and can make a big difference. Even though students must be a self-starter, online education is better than on-campus education because of learning style flexibility, cost, and accessibility. To start with, the online class offers students learning style flexibility because it gives students the freedom to choose where and when they want to study. Students that decide to take online classes can study from where they want, which means that they have a comfortable learning environment. They can be in their aunt’s house and can study from there, or they could be working and take their fifteen minutes break and can study on those fifteen minutes break. Online class gives the student the facility that they need when they are working. Also, if they have other responsibilities that requires...

...Online Classes vs. Traditional Classes Although, online classes have been available for a few decades, the number of students taking them is increasing rapidly. Students are finding it much easier to maintain a job, a family, and pursue a college career at the same time. This can be made possible with the availability of online classes. While some students find it easier to pursue their education online, others still prefer to learn in a traditional classroom. These two different ways of education have the same goal: to educate students. Time is one of the biggest issues that people face when trying to decide whether to go to college. They are trying to find time to make money, spend time with their family, and take classes to better their education. This can be quite stressful. Someone who does not work fulltime may not have an issue with time for classes to fit into their schedules; but if they do have a fulltime job to work around, online classes may be the best way to go. With online classes one has no set time for when and where to do their work. It is also available to do in the comfort of one’s home. The time frame can be after everyone has gone to bed or when they are at school. The homework is accessible from any computer twenty-four hours a day that has internet access. Another way of saving time is one not having to make the drive to the campus for class; this would also be saving money in gas. We live in a society that is technological. Taking an online...

...Reflection Paper In our GEP class we discussion many different topics about our first college experience. We were given a list of questions to discuss and one of the main questions we discussed was how different college is from high school. We also had a discussion on how we were all nervous about going to college. Knowing everyone else was just as scared as me made me feel a lot better and I didn’t doubt myself as much because I realized I wasn’t the only one going through those feelings, that it was normal. We all expressed our feelings on what we missed most about home and we love most about home. I felt like we all missed the same things and enjoyed the same things about college. Hearing them say they missed their parents, and animals just like made me feel like we all had a connection. That it’s normal for us to feel that way and it doesn’t mean we can’t do it. In class we also talked about our classes, which ones we like and which ones we don’t. Other students in our class gave me some helpful tips like being about to download Microsoft word for free for our campus help desk. Our teacher also made us feel like we were all the same and could express anything we wanted. He also gave us some helpful tips from his first college year. One topic we talked about that really invoked my feelings was if our parents helped us apply to college. My parents did not go to any college but they tried to help me as much as they could. I realized that some students in our class didn’t have that support...

...Online classes and traditional classes are both great ways to receive an education. They both strive for the same purpose, which is to help students reach their goals during college. Although both online and traditional classes are great, they do differ in some ways. The four major differences between these classes are, interaction between students and professors, convenience, the learning process, and the cost. The student/teacher interaction plays an important role between these two class settings. Students in a traditional class setting have the abilit7y to listen to the instructor, talk about lessons, ask any questions that they may have, as well as take part and watch any demonstrations. In a traditional class, students are able to communicate with peers and professors before and after class, regarding any assignments, concerns, or grades. Online students typically communicate with instructors through emails or phone. Teachers may also be able to explain things better face to face, rather than through emails or over the phone. So students may not get the complete explanation this way. Also, in the case of any questions, the professor and peers won't be readily available to provide feedback on the spot, though effective professors will make themselves available through a variety of methods, which includes online office hours. Taking classes online typically allow students to work asynchronously, which means they can choose where and when they complete their coursework....

...a 150- to 200-word e-mail to your friend summarizing the resources available to students. Hi Evelyn, How are you doing today? I am writing in regards to the resources available to students enrolled at the University of Phoenix. As you know, I have recently begun classes online. We have discussed the possibility of you returning to school. You have voiced concerns about not being able to write reports correctly or having enough time to complete classes. I had similar concerns before enrolling. There is a mandatory orientation class that students have to take before starting classes that introduces students to the online learning environment and all of the resources associated with the online learning center. I found the Center for Writing Excellence. This resource has tutorials that teach the proper way to format and write a paper. It also has a function that assists with citations. Also, there is a function that allows you to submit your paper to a tutor and they go over your paper before you turn it in and give advice on how to improve your paper. The Library is easy to navigate and there is the Ask a Librarian function for any questions you might have. The online classes make it easier to fit your classes into your daily schedule. You don’t have a set time that you have to be in attendance every day. You can even access your classes from your phone. You can log into the discussion board any time of the day or night. If you are nervous about...

...Muhammad 1 Mikey Muhammad Date Class Mr.Radev Java Programming and Inheritance As time continues to pass, the world we now live in is dominated by the use of technology. Technology continues to advance, and it seems, as if we can’t function without it. Whether it’s the use of technology in school or work, it is everywhere and you cannot escape it. It is important for us to be able to adapt to it and learn how the new inventions work and function properly. The Internet for example is one of the most important aspects of life today. The Internet allows us to have access to everything, and have endless information at our fingertips, whether it’s through a computer screen or through the use of a cellular device, or even a watch. Some of us choose to only use this amazing tool that has been provided to us, and then some us choose to go more in depth with this tool we call the Internet and want to know how it works. Although it takes millions of programs and concepts and other factors to get the Internet working how it does, the focus of my term paper will be Inheritance in Java. In order to truly understand what the specifics of Java are, you have to start with the totality of the Java program. The Java language could easily be the most difficult to understand because there are so many components to how it works. Java is a programing language and computing platform, which is a huge part of making the Internet work. It was first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. Without...

...The Comparison Between Online and Traditional Classes Kayla Staples National American University Kayla Staples EN1550 Online vs Traditional Classes There are many different pros and cons to taking online classes versus traditional in class classes. A counselor or teacher is someone that could help a student determine which type of classes best fits the student. Before deciding on such a big decision, a student must first take into consideration how disciplined they are as a student to get their work done. Discipline as a student is a number one factor when it comes to deciding on a online or a traditional class room class. Being an online student takes a lot of discipline because you do not have someone standing there telling you exactly how to do your work. You also do not have someone there who can help you right away with questions you may have on your assignment. An online student needs to be organized and able to complete tasks on a certain deadline without being reminded daily. Being a traditional class student could be a better route for someone who does not have much discipline outside of the classroom. While being in class, you have to get your work done in a certain time and you have that time to do it in class. You teacher and peers are in class with you if you ever get in a stump on an assignment and need to ask questions. Flexibility is another factor that needs to come into play when a student decides on which type of class to take. If a student...

...CSC 275 Lab 7 Instructor: Angela M. Fults Question Subject Line: CSC 275 Online Lab 7 Question You are to develop an entire program that simulates the way a game is handled in the random creation of its characters. Your program should have the ability to create one of 3 types of character. The choices should be an ogre, archer and a swordsman. Each of these characters will share many of the same types of attributes such as name, life and energy and these should be contained in the Super class that we will call Entity (because Character is already a class). Only the archer and the swordsman are playable, which leaves the ogre to be a Non-Player Character (NPC). This means that the Ogre will be a subclass of the Entity, while the archer and swordsman will be subclasses of Playable which is a subclass of Entity. Below is the diagram. [pic] The Playable class should extend the Entity class and should contain some additional methods that dictate the movement of the character by the user. Note that we will NOT be tracking the movement of the characters to help simplify the lab. The playable class should have a method for moving the character in the 4 standard directions (no diagonals allowed). So up, down, left and right.
