Live/Virtual Classes Vs Pendrive Classes

• As per the current trends, CA Final Students are generally taking up Pendrive Classes as they have prior committments for Articleship/Job, hence it becomes difficult for students to attend regular classes.
• Pendrive Classes gives them an option to study as per their own convenience at their home and it makes easier for students to complete syllabus on time.

Student often remain confused in opting for CA Final Classes because of query resolution, they feel that in pendrive classes they wont be able get proper assistance from faculties regarding their queries.

Query resolution is not a problem that student should be worried about as the topics are explained in full detail in the videos so that 90% doubts of students are solved automatically and still if student has any doubts, they are being answered by faculties over E-mail, WhatsApp, discussion forums and one-on-one support.

Difference in the quality of teaching between both the Classes

Face to Face classes and recorded classes in pendrive are basically the same.

1. Person teaching is the same
2. Content which is taught is same
3. Way it is been taught is also the same

The face to face classes are recorded and stored in pendrive. So as per the quality there will be no difference.

The only thing is having dedication and watching those videos

If you are confused between whether to attend face to face classes or get recorded class and watch at home?

My personal opinion is to attend Pendrive classes. Online/Pendrive courses call for a greater amount motivation and self-discipline than a classroom-based course. Technology also adds on to the visual experience by incorporating animations that can be used interactively for effective learning and communication.

Some advantages of having a Pendrive Classes are discussed below:

Learn from anywhere, at any time

Since online education only requires a laptop or a smartphone with an internet connection, students can learn anywhere at any time. This flexibility helps working professionals to pursue new courses without giving up their jobs. They can learn at weekends or in their free time. All the course materials are readily available at student’s fingertip.

Flexibilty

The best thing about taking pendrive classes is the flexibility that becomes available to you. You can watch a particular lesson as many times as you think you need to in a bid to understand what is being taught. On the other hand, the conventional methods of learning have a certain level of rigidity about it, in that a lecturer will only repeat something so many times before getting irritated about it.

Learn at your own pace

Everyone learns at a different pace. In a classroom where everyone taught together, many students find it difficult to follow the lessons. This is a serious disadvantage of traditional education. Online education solves this issue. In online education all the course materials are provided beforehand, students learn it by taking their own time. Students can clarify their doubts by live chats or forums as well.

Free Ups Your Time

Another aspect of taking pendrive classes is that you will need to invest less time sitting in a class and listening to the lectures being given. You can simply carry on with your daily work, before picking up the pendrive from the institute you are studying with, come home and sit down with the lessons. This ensures that your day is not getting jammed just with studies and you can carry on with your profession as well if you are working. An ever-increasing number of people are starting to opt for pendrive classes, and this is because of the numerous benefits associated with the matter.

These are the benefits of choosing CA Pendrive classes. In today’s times, everyone is looking for ways that they can multitask, and that is exactly what you are able to do with Pendrives. All you are going to need is a device in which you can plug in the Pendrive and absorb what is being taught. The above factors certainly make this type of Classes quite popular nowadays.

• Travel expenses, accommodations etc must be taken care of, if the student hails from a place where there is no school or educational institution.
• There is a lack of freedom in choosing the subjects that we want to study at a particular time. We are forced to follow the set schedule of the teacher.
• Most of the children's hesitate while asking doubt in class.
