Studying with a group of students in a classroom is more beneficial than learning online at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Each individual has their own set of strengths and weaknesses in studying. Some people prefer to sit in their own homes, enabling them to study at their own pace. Critics against this argue that studying among peers in a classroom has more advantages. I strongly disagree that a classroom setting has more benefits due to its strict pace and rigid schedule.
