On line photography classes VS. Campus photography classes

There are many differences between on line classes in photography and on campus classes:

Photography is more convenient on line to most people for many reasons on line courses have, flexible classes that fit your schedule , you are in the comfort of your own home, and you can eat and drink while doing your assignments. If you have any bad habits no one else will see them, such as sitting in your pajamas while doing school work. You do not have to be at class at any particular time, as long as your assignments are turned in on time.

In On line photograph classes you have to be in the class just long enough to turn in your assignments and comment on your peers' assignments. The comments and critiques from your peers' in an on line classroom are very beneficial in helping you better your grade's. When you are taking courses at home you do not have to worry about the violence that might go on at a campus.

Some of the differences of on campus classes, are you stay for the whole class, you have to drive back and forth to the collage, find a parking spot, buy a parking pass, and make sure you park in the right place. Most of the times if you want to stop and get something to eat you have to leave an hour before your class begins.

There is no smoking allowed in the collage and sometimes not even on the campus grounds. You are more apt to eat out and less healthy if you go to Collage on campus. You have a huge range of possibilities in the computer lab on campus like developing your film in a dark room; you cannot do that on line. Although there is security on campus, you still worry about your safety while going to collage on campus.

There are also many similarities between on line classes and on campus photography classes: the reading requirements, amount of hours and credits needed to graduate, flash drives, straps, tripods, cameras, and flashes, and depending on the type of camera, you might use a film camera in an on campus class and learn to develop your own film in a dark room or use a digital camera. In an on line class you use the same equipment except you use a digital camera, you also have on line digital books (all though you still can purchase hard cover books that you pay for later instead of having to purchase them before class starts. Of course both courses you need subjects to photograph. You will take night, twilight, morning, and afternoon shots in both courses. You meet a variety of different people and sometimes make bonds that last a life time.

I myself prefer the online classes, because for me I need that extra little help that I can get from my peers and from my professors
