Some Pros and Cons of Studying an Online Degree

Article Category: Education

Author Name: Mark Jones

Online degrees are college degrees which are studied mostly through the Internet or online instead of the traditional way of attending classes several days in a week in a university or college. They are very convenient for people who are too busy to attend classes during the day, usually because they are working or they need to stay at home and take care of their families. Some people also opt to study online because they live a considerable distance from the college or university they'd like to attend, and the daily drive or commute would be very difficult for them. They may have found out that the degree they are interested is being offered for online study by the university they wanted to study in, and so they grabbed the chance for this distance-learning mode.

The major benefit of online studying, without a doubt, is convenience. The student can study wherever he wants, provided he has a computer with Internet connectivity. He also may study whenever he likes or whenever he's free. He doesn't have to conform to a specific daily schedule, like studying one particular subject at 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. every Monday and Wednesday, and another at 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, or something similar to this. He decides at what time he studies, and he can vary his schedule from day to day or week to week. He just has to make sure that he completes a certain unit or module by a specified time, say after one or two weeks, depending on the course syllabus and schedule. He also has to make sure that he submits all assignments and schoolwork on time, and gets ready for tests and assessments at their scheduled times. The timetables for all these activities are preset at the beginning of his study, so he knows what to prepare for and how to manage his time to be able to comply to them.

Taking an online degree allows a person to continue working or doing other things he needs to do, while at the same time pursuing a college degree that will help advance his career or bring him closer to a life goal he's bent on achieving. Another advantage online studying gives is financial. It is usually cheaper than studying in the traditional manner.

However, it is not all that easy to study online. It presents some challenges and obstacles that probably not everyone will be able to handle successfully. One major disadvantage of online studying is that it is a mostly solo undertaking. There is practically no contact with other classmates, and very little interaction with professors and other resource persons. There may some sporadic interactions, but definitely much less compared to what one has in the more traditional educational setting. This can make learning more difficult, because the student can't count on the physical presence of a professor to help him when needed. There is also no one to constantly remind or "badger" him to work on his assignments, to study harder, or to do some catching up he needs to do.

Therefore, one should know how to study independently. In addition, one should be very good at time management so that he can meet all his study targets as well as perform his other responsibilities. Strong self-motivation and discipline are important. Certain skills are also essential, including good reading skills, writing and communication skills, and sufficient computer and Internet skills to help him complete his online degree.
