Correspondence Course versus Classroom Course

Paper Summary:

In this paper, the writer shows that the use of correspondence courses can cause a problem through cheating on tests. In this manner, there is no instructor available to make sure that information is being learned and is being tested from memory. The writer discusses that if an online university were to send a test, it would be tempting to find the answers from a text or from other online sources. A classroom course would not allow this kind of testing as the instructor would be present to insure that no cheating occurs when learning to retain subject matter.

From the Paper:

"This essay seeks to compare and contrast a correspondence course and the classroom courses available within universities. By realizing the benefit of taking a correspondence course online from home, there is a convenience in learning that allows more people to attain degrees. In contrast to this kind of education, there is also the traditional classroom courses that require the student to show up to class and become involved in the learning process. In this manner, both courses offer clear guidelines that make learning possible, but vary in how they produce results for the modern student."
