College Degree By Studying At Home
The
concept of studying at home and acquiring a degree has become quite common
these days, this concept is known as distance
learning and it has various forms like online learning, postal learning
etc. In online method of distance learning, one gets the study material through
internet nor even through post, an exam based on syllabus and study material is
taken at a particular time through internet i.e. one can sit at home, can give
exam and if passes the exam, the degree
is awarded to him.
On
the other hand, in postal learning method of distance learning, the student
gets syllabus and study material through post, he can prepare for the exam by
studying at home, here also an exam is taken at a particular time and at a
particular place but instead of internet, here the exam is taken at a centre
decided by institute under the watch of invigilators, so the exam under postal
learning is more or less the conventional paper-pencil exam.
Although
the concept of distance learning has become widely accepted and has got many
advantages, it has some demerits also.
The
concept of distance learning has been proved very useful for the people who
wants to study and get a degree but are engaged in some kind of job, business
or are unable to attend the daily classes in a college because of any reason,
but distance learning has got some disadvantages also, like there are many
chances of cheating or some other person giving exam in place of a particular
student.
However
it may be concluded that distance learning is a useful tool in today’s world
for acquiring knowledge, getting a degree and being able to get a handsome job
without bothering to attend the daily lectures in a college.
