Face-to-Face Courses are Superior to Online Courses
The pandemic reconstructed the entire world, causing the education systems to adapt. Many teachers had to covert from face to face teachings to online lectures. Many present online learning as a inferior way of learning for various reasons such as students not interacting and less attention is put into the individual students.
The argument presented is brought by assistant professors who understand the pros and cons of online learning due to their experience teaching both Online and face to face. This is debate is very is relevant to me because right now I am submitting a post for an online, asynchronous course. I do notice that in some classes online is beneficial such as, writing courses and history courses, where we must rely on writing more frequently and research; whereas math and other major course work where we need to interact with the professors are better off being face to face. I wonder how we can improve online learning or if one day we see all classes become online because of the convenience factor it provides.
