 Reflection
paper
I have learnt to write two kind of essays: The first essay was a

comparing essay. The second kind of essay that I learnt is

cause and effect essay. It is a good tool and allow me to

generate a paper in where I need to explain the origin of a

problem and the consequences.

In general words, I learnt a lot in this month and I hope to learn

more due to my knowledge and skills in this language.

Learning in a regular classroom vs Online Learning

According to the author Bernard Bell, "in order to create an engaging learning experience,
the role of instructors is optional, but the role of learner is essential". During the last years,
we learnt by online way since our houses due to the pandemic. It allows us to compare
easier the two methods of learning, in a regular classroom and online. Now, in both,
regular classroom and online classes, there are differences and similarities in some topics
like the location, time and size of a class.

First, the location, in a regular classroom we can share our opinions and emotions in a
better way because classmates and also the teacher can see our expresions and indirect
communication said more information. In online classes, although we can't see our faces
and communicate like in a classroom, we have other options to do that, for example by
cellphone and in another plattform of meeting. Also we can search a lot of information on
internet.

About the time of classes, in a regular classroom the schedules are more respected and
frequently students show more attention because there are not to much distracting
factors. On the other hand, in online classes, schedules are more flexible in some cases.
For example, when the teacher don't take attendance, students can ask for a recording of
the class to a partner. Also, there are asynchronous classes that consists of watch videos
papers related to the class and do a homework. In other words, you can do it on any time,
but before homework due date.

but before homework due date.

Finally, about the size of classes, some teachers prefer to mantain the same number of
students like in a traditional classroom because there are a lot of exams to correct.
However, there are other classes that teachers programate a plattform to check
automatically our answers, saving time. In this cases, there are too much students in a
virtual classroom. Totally different to a regular classroom that only are a number of
students according to the same number of chairs.

In conclusion, we can see some differences and similarities about location, time and size
of a class between online classes and traditional classroom. Also, there are more
differences, but both kind of classes could be useful with a better schedule.
