There has been a controversy about if online
materials
 or printed
materials
 are more effective. I would say it's better to use printed
materials
 than online
materials
. My reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.
First
, online
materials
 bring destruction. Take me as an example. Whenever I use my laptop to read something, there are consistently some ads on the page;
therefore
, I have been destructed by those outside factors several times.
On the contrary
, if I used printed
materials
instead
 of online
materials
, I could focus more on the content rather than those random ads.
Second
, printed
materials
 have some functions that online
materials
 don't have.
For example
, you can do editing on printed
materials
, e.g., write down some notes. Those functions can lead to a better grade because you can improve your papers by using those notes on the printed
materials
.
Third
, printed
materials
 can show students the real important parts with the notes from teachers. According to my own experience, the professors at my university use printed
materials
 more often than online resources because with these
materials
 we as students know which part is most essential.
On the other hand
, online
materials
 are not consistently reliable. Those online
materials
 can mislead you with the wrong information on the website. It's worth mentioning that online
materials
 are actually environmentally-unfriendly because there are hundreds and thousands of online
materials
 that are made every day. Kind regards, I would say using printed
materials
 is more effective than online
materials
.
