Both traditional and online classes allow for one-on-one discussions. Instructors of both learning styles are available to help and discuss any problems the student may be experiencing. Additionally, in both lessons, the instructor is available to answer questions and guide the student. The instructor acts as a mentor, as well as a teacher. All in all, both learning styles are important. It depends on what the student feels most comfortable with and what works with their home, family and work schedules, as well as the accessibility of their location. While traditional seems to be the preferred choice for most students, more and more people are starting to take the online route. The problem areas of feedback, time distribution, and personal discussions in class only become problems if students allow them to become problems. When deciding between online classes and traditional classes, remember that the question isn't whether it's less stressful or easier, it's a matter of personal preference and learning style. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide how you want to earn your degree. Take a step back, weigh the pros and cons
