subject: Distance Learning: Approximate Drawbacks/Negative Consequences [print this page] Some people like to travel, try different dishes, learn other countries, experiment with their own styles, and other risky ventures. In this respect, it is necessary to regard other people that like to stay at home instead of going to the party, do not like to change their hairstyles, and would rather stay hungry instead of trying a new dish. Different people have different preferences and it is natural. Viewing these examples of human preferences, you can conclude on pros and cons of various activities. Thus, some people would consider travelling interesting and cognitive, while other would find many reasons for questioning trips and voyages in terms of danger, price, and approximate benefits. Negative Consequences Distance learning is one of human activities that help people become educated if they do not have an opportunity to be full-time students. This activity can be argued with regard to its positive effect as well as its negative consequences. You can see some of the negative consequences of distance learning: 1.You can get a diploma as a full-time student. However, you should have a reason for not being a full-time student. As a rule, people become distance students due to some difficulties in their life. Lack of financial support, personal problems, a family that needs your support, and other factors can lead you to distance learning. 2.You can have insufficient time to cope with writing assignments and acquiring information on theory. You can fail some tests due to the lack of time for getting prepared. Your tutor would not encourage you to learning if you will not demonstrate a desire to work hard. 3.You should learn to balance learning with working. A healthy balance is just what you need. However, you can fail to make enough money which would make you work more. In this respect, you will have less time for learning.
