Some people think that studying online is more effective than studying on campus. What are the advantages and disadvantages of online study?

#people #campus #study
During the Covid-19 pandemic, online
classes
 became popular in many countries. Studying online has its own cons and pros. It has some advantages.
First
, both the student and the teacher feel free regarding dressing, especially when they don'
t
 use webcams.
This
 makes them comfortable because they get rid of formal clothes and attire. The
second
 advantage is that they don'
t
 need to commute.
This
 saves a lot of time, particularly in megacities because people usually spend their time in traffic jams.
Consequently
, they can take benefit of
this
 time and do whatever they like, i.e., reading books, watching television, dancing, exercising, etc.
On the other hand
,
such
classes
 cause some problems.
For example
, the teacher has no control over the
students
 while teaching.
That is
, he/she doesn'
t
 know whether all the
students
 are listening or not. Unfortunately, some
students
 enter the class, but they are not really listening. Perhaps, they are watching
T
.V. The other issue is that the teacher-student and student-student relationships are not face-to-face.
This
 causes some misunderstanding because the communication is just verbal, whereas nonverbal
behavior

behaviour
show examples
 and body language are more effective in the class.
Finally
, taking an exam is
also
 a complex issue in online
classes
. The teacher doesn'
t
 know whether the
students
 have answered the questions by themselves or they have cheated.
Therefore
, I believe that holding just online
classes
 is not practical because of the issues it arises.
However
, having a combination of online
classes
 and studying on campus can be useful for both the
students
 and the teachers.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
