Traditional classroom

ADVANTAGES
Topic sentence 1: Flexibility
Traditional classis not flexible as it requires the
students and teachers to attend a particular
place at specific times. For example, students of
traditional class have the responsibility to show
up for class to meet attendance requirement.
Therefore it is not convenient for full-time
workers since they would have difficulties in
arranging free time to attend the class.

Topic sentence 2: Interaction

Traditional classroom allowing face-to-face
interaction. Students have the ability to meet
with other students for study groups and
friendship. Having numerous students learning in
the same classroom has the added benefit of
allowing students to exchange ideas and
questions with one another providing another

provides.
First-hand
interaction with the educating professor also
allows for ideas to be exchanged freely and
without any communication barriers.

Topic sentence 3: Technology

Fewer technology requirements for traditional
classrooms. Not everyone owns a computer or
has access to the internet where they live. Also,
school or campus is full of resources such as
libraries or computer labs where students can
access the technology required to complete
coursework. Besides, while on-site, students can
also take advantage of the office hours for
professor or teacher assistant.

assessment
While online courses may still require that
students take tests and write essays, there is a
dramatic reduction in the level of student
assessment that can take place. When teachers
are not able to see how students work on a daily
basis, they will not be able to gauge (standard
measurement) as accurately whether a student
is fully understanding the material. Teachers in
the classroom might be able to offer extra
assistance or utilize a different approach to
teaching a given subject, while teachers
managing online courses will not have the same

DISADVANTAGES
Topic sentence 1: Higher total costs
Traditional schools tend to be more expensive
than online school for a variety of reasons. The
students who attend the school which
implemented traditional education will spend
much more money. If their house is not near
from their school, they will spend their money for
buying gasoline for their private transportation.
It will be the same if they do not have any
private transportation because they have to pay
public transportation to go to school. Moreover,
if the distance between their house and their
school is too far and they do not have any
relation, they must rent a house or at least live
in a boarding house. That will spend much more
money because they have to pay not only for
renting or boarding house but also for food.

Topic Sentence 2: Classroom environment

In a traditional classroom environment, there are
usually anywhere from twenty to thirty children
and one teacher. it is simply impossible for
teacher to give each student the one-on-one
attention or instruction that may be required. In
a classroom of twenty to thirty students, there
are going to be several students with differing
learning styles and academic strengths and
weaknesses. Some students learn better by
visual means, others will learn better with
auditory means, and still others are going to
learn better with a hands-on approach.
