Well, in this era of technology there is a huge revolution in the manner of teaching as well as learning, thought processes among students, work style. So, in order to decide that which one is better for you- virtual or face to face classes.
Let us consider the below mentioned points and try to reach a conclusion:
ONLINE VIRTUAL CLASSES | FACE TO FACE CLASSES |
Time savings of travelling- best | Travelling needed so waste of that much time- worst |
No meeting new people and no contacts build up that may be beneficial in future - not good | Meeting and interacting with new people. May be in future you work with them- very good |
You can Revise, rewind, fast forward the topic to understand at your convenience- amazing. Well that can make you lazy as well | You need to pace up with your mentor to understand the topic- little sad But that keeps you active |
You can Study at your own convenient time – great But that may not keep you on the schedule | You have to do studies according to your classes time – irritating sometimes But that keeps you at your daily schedule |
Your doubts may not be cleared at the earliest or may not be cleared at all | You can ask your doubts instantly to your mentor and get your mind clear there itself |
Option of selecting classes are more as not location barriers | Options may be less in your town or city |
No new friends and colleagues from your profession | You make new friends and colleagues sharing the same profession |
No daily classworks and homeworks | Daily classworks and homeworks |
No tests and exams | Regular basis tests and exams |
No control on you by your mentors | Your mentors controls you and keep you on track |
Financially not a major difference | Financially not a major difference |
Geographical location is not a constraint any more. You can go outstation with your family etc without missing your classes | To go outstation with family etc needs a sacrifice of missing the classes and vice versa |
Preparing your own notes at your convenience which may sometimes lead to missing out on some important points and again you need to watch the lecture | Preparing your own notes along with daily teaching by your mentors which is more effective to memorize |
Our CA, CS, CMA profession needs discipline, dedication, small sacrifices, enjoyment, learning, communications, daily updates, self control, practices, clarity of concepts, time utilization at its maximum, maintaining balance in studies, articleship, personal life, based on that.
