    Compare and Contrast Essay

    In today’s world online learning has become normal. Before 2020 I could never imagine

    online learning as a thing and it did not exist to many of us, but now it has become a part of

    everyday life. Online learning and in-class learning has many advantages and disadvantages,

    these two ways of learning have a lot of similarities as well as a lot of differences as well.

    As a student, I have experienced a lot of advantages and disadvantages during remote learning

    the past couple of months. One of the major disadvantages of online learning is Zoom classes.

    You may be thinking that this would be an advantage because it gives a chance for teachers and

    students to be face to face without having to be around others, but it is not. Sometimes when I

    am in the middle of a Zoom meeting Zoom will just kick me out of class without any warning

    and will not allow me to join back in and this has happened numerous of times. Sometimes my

    audio or video will not work and the class can not see or hear me. For teachers Zoom will

    sometimes lag and students can miss part of the lesson. Some students may not have access to a

    computer at home and the school does not have enough funds or availability to give out

    computers to students who need them. Besides Zoom, another disadvantage of online learning is

    some students will not do their work at home because there are too many distractions

    surrounding them. This could lead to kids only passing because they are cheating off of another

    student and copying their work or the students can fail because they will not do their work.

    Online learning can also be damaging mentally because students are not getting out of their

    house and interacting with others. I am the type of person that in class I tend to learn better and

    focus more because I am surrounded by other students that can help me out when I need it. I

    would say that there are few advantages when it comes to remote learning. An advantage could

    be that you can have class while laying in bed or sitting in your living room. There are apps that

    teachers can post their assignments and students will get a notification to an assignment the

    teacher posted. Also if students do not have paper back books with them, they can easily find e-

    books for their classes. Overall, online learning has far more disadvantages than advantages.

    In my opinion in-class learning has far more advantages for learning than online learning. The

    advantages for in-class learning are class is filled with a bunch of students and a teacher to help

    you succeed in the course. In class students can build a personal relationship with their teacher

    and other students which makes it easier to get help. I think one of the major advantages for in-

    class learning is you see other students everyday and interact with the people around you. Being

    able to interact with others does not only help students mentally, it will help students do better in

    class. Being around students in class is beneficial to students work because if they need help they

    can easily raise their hand for help or ask a student next to them for help. Another advantage is

    assignments that would normally be due in class first thing in the morning are now due at night

    at 11:59 pm instead of the morning. There are disadvantages of in-class learning but they are

    very few. One disadvantage for in-class learning is some students are shy and therefore will not

    speak up if they need help and will not ask for it. Sometimes students could not get to class on

    time because they are running late or because of traffic. Overall in-person learning has a lot more

    advantages than disadvantages.

    Although online learning and in-class learning have a lot of differences, they also have

    similarities. Online learning you may not be face to face in person with your teacher, teachers are

    just as much helpful online as in person. Students can reach their teachers by email and 90% of

    the time the teacher will respond within the day or the next day. Teachers are always available to

    talk and to help students out. Due to social media students can still get help from their peers by

    texting or emailing one another. Online learning and in-class learning you are doing the same

    amount work for your classes. Whether students are in online classes or in-person classes they

    will give their all and try their best in school to succeed and the teachers want the best for their

    students.

    Online learning and in-class learning have many differences but also similarities. Online

    learning and in-class learning have many disadvantages and advantages that are very different

    from one another. Online learning has become the new norm for us students and just like our

    teachers we are still trying to adapt to it. We may not know how much longer we are going to be

    at home for school but we are going to make the most of it. In my opinion I like in-class learning

    more than online learning because I like to be around others everyday because it helps me

    mentally and I feel like I do better in class. What type of learning is the most beneficial for you,

    as a student?
