Online graduate degree programs are being offered worldwide. In many respects, the programs are like the same degree programs available in a traditional campus environment, but in several key aspects, they are very different.
First, online degree programs do not offer one-on-one time with the professors. On campus, professors hold regular office hours and expect to have conferences with their graduate students. In addition, many opportunities present themselves for informal interactions before and after class or in chance meetings on campus. Some professors invite their graduate students to their homes or otherwise make themselves available in semi-social settings. In contrast, online professors are unable to see their graduate students in person and, consequently, do not know them very well.
Second, many online graduate programs are not as challenging or as high quality as their on-campus counterparts. In fact, some courses are so easy that students are able to complete them online in one weekend. For the most part, senior faculty members refuse to teach the online courses, contributing to the difference in quality of the online and on-campus courses with the same titles. Many excellent professors view the huge numbers in the online classes as an impediment. Technology allows for more students to take the same course, and junior faculty or graders provide feedback on assignments that are graded by senior faculty teaching on campus.
Third, top schools do not offer online degree programs. Although non-credit courses or even a handful of credit courses may be available, the best schools still require that graduate students complete a more conventional program with most of their time spent in residence on campus. For students who want a graduate degree from a prestigious university, online options are not open to them.
The reading passage and the lecture are about online education. The author of the reading passage holds the view that same way of teaching does not develop students properly. In contrast, the professor believes that there is no a lot of distinctions between these two formats.
Firstly, according to the reading passage the professors miss interaction and communication with students, because they cannot see them in person. However, the lecturer challenges this idea. He mentions that only formal of communication changes. So, students can interact with a teacher by using email or phone call.
Secondly, the author argues that quality of the same programms that are teached in online or traditional format is different depending on the format. He points out that many professors prefer working in the face-to-face classes.The lecturer has a different idea about this as well. He emphasize that online education is more complex than traditional, because it requires special skills from a student. For intance, it is crucial to be self-disciplined, moreover, skills of time-managment is also very important.
Thirdly, the author claims that universities that are considered as best do not allows their students to study in online format. Hovewer, the professor does not agree with the author. He asserts that a lot of top univestities provide online format for their students and there are a lot of degree programms which you can graduate even if you study only in online format.
