Pros&Cons of classes of the future :-)

To clarify classes of the future are the online classes. There are many benefits to an online class. The student does not have to do his/her work within a specific time everyday, does not have to be in the same room at the same time everyday. If he/she does not understand the material he/she can always ask the online teacher for help, or just browse the Internet. There is no late work(unless the student chooses not to work on the online classes), and students can work on their own pace. It is my opinion however that the cons of an online class outweigh the pros. While it is true that there is no set time for the student to do his/her work, for certain students that isn't always a good thing, some of them may never log in to do their work. They may forget, or just not get the same motivation they would in school. While it is true that the student can "email" the student for help, face to face interaction is the best way to learn, and nothing says that the student will be looking up anything to do with his/her online class while they're browsing the net, they can be looking at anything (Facebook). While it is true that students can work at their own pace, without the proper motivation their pace can be to slow.
