One thing i did not enjoy!

Hello pals,

By now you must have noticed I like asking questions. Expect it J And, I hope you did something you love this past week?

I am simultaneously in an online class and an in-class class right now, and this week assignment is about my observation about fellow students in the in-class class.

Well, let me give you a hint. I actually love online education more than an in-class education. At least in my opinion, online education gives students the opportunity to express themselves freely by contributing to the class, and at the same time respond to other students’ post, without fear, being shy or feeling unintelligent afterwards.

Not that I am saying an in-class education does not do the same, but all things being equal, online classes normally have more students more than an in-class class, so, everyone gleans something from the other students because there are always variety of perspective to a question or assignment based on the students exposure or experience in life. And this is not common in an in-class class.

In the in-class class I am in, we are just three students. This is so because we were given a special class as a result of unavailability of a course we were supposed to take. You have no other option but to take this class. 

I could not glean a lot like I would in a normal online class of about 26 students, where each student is participating and you are learning from all 26 students. These students do not communicate like I am used to seeing on the class board.

Sincerely, I wish I could glean more from the other two students in the class. No hard feelings though, I completely understand personalities differ. So, I hold no grudge. Just expressing the fact that I wish students were more in this class.

Let me know your experience with an in-class and online class, and I will publish it in my next blog.

Until I see you next week, stay blessed.
