Every year more and more students choose to study online rather than attend classes on campus. what do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?
The use of online
classes
by undergraduates
has grown a lot each year compared to attending lectures
on school
grounds. This
could be for a number of reasons. This
essay will discuss, what lead to undergraduates
choices of online studying over an in-person lecture
on school
grounds, and the fix around students
studying online instead
of in-person on campus.
There are several reasons why an undergraduate will choose to study
online over attending lectures
on school
grounds. Firstly
, students
choose to study
online because of other commitments such
as working, as such
, due to working hours clashing with lecture
hours the students
choose to read online rather than go to the classroom. Another reason for a student to choose online lectures
over in-person lectures
is because they are too lazy to go to class and since there is an option to attend the lecture
online, they would rather go online to study
. For instance
, a former roommate of mine in college never attended lectures
in person, when I asked him why he said what was the point that the whole point of the school
providing online classes
is so undergraduates
can study
if they choose not to attend the classroom and why should he stress himself going to the classroom.
However
, there are ways in which schools can ensure undergraduates
attend lecture
rooms more often rather than the continued use of online services. For students
with responsibilities, the school
can choose to allocate more lecture
hours that suits students
who work so they attend lectures
in-person rather than studying online. Another possible solution would be to ensure that short quizzes are taken at the end of every lecture
which would contribute to the student's academic performance for that course. With this
, students
that miss in-person classes
for flimsy excuses such
as being lazy would have no choice but to attend in-person lectures
henceforth. Hence
, this
will ensure that students
attend lecture
rooms more often than studying online.
In conclusion, if schools want their students
to attend classes
more often than studying online they would need to employ strategies that will ensure that students
visit lecture
rooms to study
. The above solutions will tend to the cause of students
missing lectures
in person.Submitted by senikanosleu on
