| Home Study: What Life-enhancing Skill do You Learn? Home Study: What
Life-enhancing Skill do You Learn?You're already doing unofficial home study
when you research a project online Isabel Marant. Study in class has
its place, but...Up to date I've done many courses in classrooms but only two
were very useful. I've learned most of the useful stuff from books or the
Internet.What will help you most in life? The most valuable thing you learn at
school is to write an essay. Essays help you organise your thoughts. An essay
helps you convince people. Yourfeedback in a home study course will mostly be
essays. This will encourage you to write a good essay.Many years ago I read
about Electronics, and took a correspondence course on the subject, and made
electronic gadgets for where I worked. Then I decided to study Electronics at
college. Unfortunately the nearest I could get to it was Physics with
Electronics as the main subject, so I qualified in Physics.The lecturers were
shockingly out of date. One of my classmates and I spent a lot of time
instructing the lecturers. We'd learned modern stuff from books and practical
use.It has been said "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." What this
means is that lecturers sat through lectures and passed exams. They go on to
teach what they learned in these lectures - which is already out of date. That's
the first benefit of home study.Three advantages of classroom study1. You can
get recognised certificates when youpass exams2. You can get a useful plan for
what to study 3. Facilities for practical workYou'll have noticed that although
I learned more from my home study course, I still did a four-year course at
college. I couldn't get recognised exam certificates from correspondence
courses. That was the main benefit.If you want to study genetics and you don't
even know what a gene is, you obviously don't know enough to plan a syllabus for
your home study. You get a useful skeleton outline from your lectures. Using my
book about exams you will learn how to improve on the skeleton, but you need
oneto improve on!At home you don't have a chemistry laboratory or a machine shop
or volunteers to practice dentistry.Apprenticeships let you learn about real
life from an employer. Schools and colleges have labs and workshops for you to
do your practical work.Lecturers don't know as much about practical work as an
employer would. I hated doing chemical titrations because they took such a long
time.Then I noticed that one of my classmates took about a quarter of the time,
with greater accuracy. He worked during his holidays at a chemistry lab. He
showed me the tricks and I was soon flying through my titrations too.Even if you
do have a machine shop at home, you'll be taught safe working procedure in a
conventional course. That could save you from being a cripple for the rest of
your life.Instant Feedback When I was about to hold a chunk of metal with a rag
wrapped round my hand to give me extra grip, my lecturer yelled a warning post
by haiyan113. That probably kept me from losing my hand. Even if you're learning
something safe like oil painting, you can learn faster with instant feedback
from a lecturer strolling around behind the students.Oh, you could take a
digital photograph of your oil painting and shoot it down the line to an
instructor, but she could be having a meal, or even be asleep if she is on the
other side of the world. So you still won't have instant feedback.Writing essays
works fine.Conventional courses for abilitiesIt seems that conventional courses
win out when you want to develop an ability, unless your parents already have
that ability to pass on to you. Knowledge coursesOf course, there are knowledge
courses such as English, Philosophy, History, Anthropology where you don't have
a practical syllabus. These areideal for home study, and perfect for using an
essay as a tool.More and more Universities offer online courses. You can get
recognised certificates with home study. You just need to be good at writing an
essay (see my free report) and a few other exam techniques to succeed.Even
technical courses have lots of theory. University extension courses allow you to
study the theory online Etoile
Isabel Marant Bayley Wedge Sneakers Jaune Couleur. Then you just go to
college for your practical work.Distractions A friend of mine refused to be
distracted by girls or parties or sport until he completed his degree as a
dentist. I don't think I could have overcome these distractions. If you do home
study you don't have any distractions. Conclusion:I prefer home study any time
that it is available. However you can't learn to sing, or karate, or dentistry
without a teacher, so conventional study is often needed to supplement home
study. Essay writing is particularly useful in home study.
