Reading Response #3

KOREPETYCJE LLC. “Why Take Online Classes?” 2007. 15 April 2007.

Summary:
The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of online courses taken through universities. It gives an argument on both sides of the topic on whether online courses are good or bad to take. The good arguments seem to prevail, but there are still bad sides to the equation. The author does a good job of distinguishing and looking at different points of views between both sides.

Importance:
This work is important because it addresses the facts on how online courses can be fit for some people, but not fit for others. The knowledge of these facts allows many people to decide if online classes are fit for them.

Connections:
This is similar to work I have done because I have taken online courses before during my freshman year of college. This makes it much easier to pick a side of the argument.

Supporting Source:
This article can be used for support for my own argument because I think that online courses are an extremely good idea to have in the college atmosphere. It states many good reasons on how online courses help many people.

Argumentative source:
I would have to critique the points he makes about online courses being bad. I would do this because they are not mandatory for students to take so therefore they should not cause a problem because it is up to the student.
