Research Presentations

The semester of Fall 2016 is almost over, and of course that means presentations. Presentations are usually pretty scary, and without a doubt I saw good and bad presentations. When giving a presentations the presenter should know what they are talking about; they should speak up and focus on the audience. Sadly, there where bad presentations given. People were reading off of the slides, people were saying "um" too much, and some did not know what they were talking about. I am no excuse; I usually freak out when I have to present, but we all shared our research with the class.

Why Online Education Benefits Students

Many colleges and universities have instituted online education programs. These programs are the best way to lure in new students who are looking for flexibility and convenience. If colleges are going to meet the rising demand for education, they should provide online courses to students. Students from overseas will want to apply to the college because it can help them get a degree for a cheaper price. Colleges should consider students who have full-time jobs and are not able to attend classes. Many students are most likely to choose what is convenient for them.

Online Eduction

With more and more students taking online courses, both the students and the colleges benefit. For example, students get flexibility while colleges have a way to offer services to students abroad. In addition, online courses help reduce the cost of commuting to school. However, online education does have some disadvantages. For instance, some students might prefer face to face interactions. These problems could be easily solved. First, make hybrid classes so there is interaction between the student and instructor. Second, require an appointment with instructor to make sure students are understanding the material . If these problems are addressed, both students and colleges would benefit because, students get flexibility in their schedules and colleges more students wanting to apply to their campus.
