physical interaction, which can make it more challenging for you to
communicate with your fellow students and tutors.

• Another drawback of online education is the difficulty in maintaining
focus when you study.
• Before choosing to study online, it’s crucial that you asses your ability
to stick to your plan, be consistent and work hard towards your goals.

own pace without interfering with
work or other activities.
Currently, virtual classes are more
beneficial for me.
