When it comes to learning, almost everyone has a preferred way of being taught, but this can vary among college students who may encounter courses taught either in person or online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it is not a new way of taking classes at Sinclair College, students shared their thoughts on how they like or dislike online courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do like online classes; I am in two in-person classes and one online class. I like the option of being able to do an online-only class, just because everyone\u2019s schedule is so different, especially with parents and people having multiple jobs,\u201d Vogt said.<\/p>\n\n\n

She went on to say that online classes enable you to work at a personal pace that does not need to follow a strict schedule like the in-person classes, as long as you get to do everything that is required by the end of the semester.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking online classes is easier for her because after taking her in-person classes, she goes to the library and works on her online class. It is also easier for her since she can make her schedule and stick to it. She also acknowledged that there are pros and cons to both in-person classes and online classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am more of an in-person kind of class; not that online classes are bad or anything. I do better learning face-to-face and where I am able to talk to people or the professor, ask questions and get an immediate answer, rather than send an email and get a response 24 hours later,” Hacker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that he is currently taking an online class, as it is not offered in person. Although it is a struggle, Hacker sees it as an opportunity for learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan Glasspool – Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glasspool describes herself as an old fashioned person who enjoys taking in-person classes more than online.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cJust because I like to be able to see my classmates, interact with my classmates and also the teacher. There are positive aspects of online courses as well. I do take online courses and it is super helpful because I can do it whenever,\u201d Glasspool said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also thinks that those who take classes online miss out on the experience of community, having peers and potentially making friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While taking online classes has negative aspects, there are also positive aspects to it, including having enough time for personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
