  • You'll have to fend for yourself! Nobody will remind you when an assignment is due which classes you need to take next, or when your financial assistance application is due.
  • You're accompanied on campus by folks who are passionate about your profession. You can introduce yourself to lecturers (even if you aren't in their class) and faculty, as well as fellow students, guest lecturers, and others, and chat with them.

  4. Traditional college students started relying on lectures & notes, they don't do the research & Study on their own this may result in the mentality of spoon-feeding by teachers.
  5. Due to spoon-feeding students know that all they need to do is take copious notes, memorizes the material, and hopefully, they will be able to pass tests with a reasonable grade.
