Drop everything; you forgot that you have a test today!

You have work from 8-5, you have to pick a little someone up from school at 6 and you have no idea how you are going to take that test today. Even if you did find the time to take it, were you going to get the gas money from to get to class? These are just some of the issues of a busy student who could benefit from online schooling.

Students should take online classes because of time cost, personal convenience, and better discipline.

Travel cost (time, money)

Students should take online classes because of time cost. There are rarely enough hours in a day to get done all the things a college student needs to do. An extra 30-45 minutes could be all the difference in study time, test taking time, or well-needed resting time. By taking classes online a student completely eliminates travel time to and from school. Along with the travel time travel cost also are eliminated. Whether a student drives, rides a bus or walks; each means of travel requires a cost. Being able to simply sit down and start your classes is fast and eliminates all travel cost for school.

Convenience

Students should take online classes because of personal convince. Bill’s need to be paid, children need to be picked up, dead in jobs need to drain your time and life energy. There are many things that can keep you from fulfilling the most important aspect of your life, your education. If you were working many hours, or have children that needed to be taken care of, or any other responsibility that could not wait for any reason, it is important to have things in your schedule that are flexible. Quizzes, test, homework, discussions, are open to reasonable time frames.

Discipline gained

After being successful at online schooling, you will gain a strong ability to figure things out on your own. Unlike conventional schooling, you are often forced to figure out problem on your own with extremely little help from outside sources. A student learns to sit themselves down and keep, focused. They learn the impotents of self-motivation and dedication. They learn their flaws and weaknesses in learning. The things learned from being successful at online schooling will last the rest of a student’s academic, and professional, and personal life.

Conclusion Students should take online classes because

of time cost, personal convenience, and better discipline. Eliminating travel cost and time give you the chance to spend money and time on other things. The flexibility of your schedule benefits when over scheduling, and emergencies happen. The discipline gained after studying and solving problems on your own will last the rest of your life. These are all reasons why a student should become an online student.
