Knut Striak from Germany writes: Would you accept the phrase: in his point of view? Roger Woodham replies:. How important is it, in your view, that the twins should stay together? Both these expressions emphasise the position or angle you are judging the situation from: From my point of view it makes no difference whether you return on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
No matter what you say, someone, somewhere, will be offended and it's important to remember that it is impossible to please everyone but it is necessary to share what you believe in. Nowadays, many working adults, high school graduates, and retired lifelong learners are choosing to advance their careers, lives, and personal knowledge by completing school at home.
The rising popularity of online college and graduate school degrees has completely changed the face of education and student life. It's no longer necessary to pack up all your belongings and head off to a distant locale in order to earn a diploma.
If you feel the temptation to cut costs, save time, and take advantage of the incredible benefits of online learning and convenience of at-home study, it's essential to know the key facts about online degrees before signing up for a course of study.
Many people still worry about the legitimacy of tele-study, while others wonder how to finance the coursework. So, if you're ready to become a distance learner, review all the relevant issues related to financing, checking credentials of schools, work-life balance, expenses, and what it takes to earn good grades.
Here are more details about each point. Non-traditional methods of earning degrees, primarily via computer-based courses, are fully legitimate. In fact, many of the world's top universities and colleges offer both in-person and distance curricula. However, it is still imperative to check the credentials of any institution before making any payments.
Check accreditation status, read reviews from former students, and call the admissions office to inquire about how to apply. If your educational goals include an advanced degree, it's worth looking into private graduate student loans. Working through a private lender, most prospective pupils can obtain enough money to pay for all degree-related expenses, take advantage of competitive rates, and get access to suitable repayment terms.
This is especially helpful for current college grads who want to get their MBA, JD, or other specialty degrees to qualify for high-paying jobs. If you struggle to define balance in your life , this will surely help you.
There's no question about one fact in that e-degrees offer the best work-life balance situation possible. That's primarily because class scheduling is highly flexible, most programs are self-paced, and you can do homework whenever it fits into your work week, assuming you hold a job while you're in school.
Universities and colleges can earn high profit margins on e-courses because a vast majority of the classroom sessions are taped and can be viewed at any time. In short, schools spend much less on e-students than on those who live and matriculate on campus. In general, expect to pay about half the cost of a traditional diploma when you are a remote learner. One thing that's often overlooked when comparing all the differences between traditional and computer-based curricula is the discipline factor.
If you intend to opt for an e-degree, make sure you have the self-control to watch every video lesson, take part in live discussions, study for exams, and write papers. For some, it's far too easy to give in to the temptations of TV, social media, and other distractions when earning a degree from the comfort of home.
