The benefits of distance learning: # Go at your own pace; however, some programs have specific timelines. # No classroom to go to, so therefore, no other students to deal with. # Well laid-out assignments that you know about from the beginning. # Do it anytime, any place-no commuting time, no parking-you can even do it in the middle of the night in your pjs. # Set your own goals, find the classes you enjoy, do your own research, be independent. h3. The drawbacks of distance learning: # No set deadlines in many cases-for those not disciplined enough, you can procrastinate too much and too long. # No personal interaction with students or teachers. # Varied quality of services and websites. # Some of the private universities can be very expensive. # You must be self-discipline and able to work independently.
