Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer—and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide whether it’s Right for You

Distance education isn't for everyone, but is just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Summary/Reflection

Summary/Reflection:

Alex Schwazer a walk racer won in the Olympics however he was banned from using drugs. Although Schwazer did drugs he felt relief that they caught him because his conscience felt guilt. I think he shouldn't have done drugs because he literally ruined his career, he should've been honest since the beginning and not be seen like a cheater. I believe that once you cheat you will always be a cheater no matter if you say that you are not, probably you will and it’s bad because you make it a habit. One who is determine to succeed in life will accomplish that and more but also by making wise decisions throughout their life. Do the right things and be honest to yourself.

Summary/Reflection

Summary/ Reflection:

A young girl was locked up in a bathroom for six years; the grandparents would only let her go out to school and from there to the bathroom. She slept with no pillow and just a blanket. This is so wrong I don’t understand why people do this and I find it more wrong because there were the grandparents they are supposed to take care of her not make her life miserable like they did for the past 6 years. I am glad they found out and took the grandparents to prison for 10 years but I still think they should of have given them more year’s because they don’t have a heart for what they did. People should stop and smell the roses because sometimes we don’t realize what’s around us, we don’t realize that we are wasting time in something else rather than we could be helping other people that need our help.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”  

Theodore Roosevelt

This statement is self-explanatory because there are many times in our life were we have to decide whether do something that we really love or not and when you encounter times like that the best way to pick the best decision is to feel good about it after whatever you've decided to do. A tough decision would be getting accepted to your dream college but there is another university/college that you love as well and you get accepted in both; I believe however you feel about it you will make a wise decision.
