Regular course is more effective and efficient because you will have time to study and attend the classes , you also can clear your doubts in class room , ask questions to your lecturer but in distance learning course all this may not be possible. However, if your working and still wants to study then distance course will be better for you, to know the information about any subject you can also use the internet, me I did B.com computers regular but P.G i.e M.A English I did from Distance learning i.e through Osmania University but still I got 70% marks in my P.G I am okay with Distance learning as well, as per your situation you have to select which will suit you and which you can feel comfortable to study. All the best for your future!

It can't be said absolutly that which one is more effeient or more effective.Someone want to sit down in the class room and they can concentrate on learning,but someone have the ablity to control themselves at home.It realy depands on you.

A regular learning course has everything going for it.Only thing is it has to be pursued from a well known college or university.I don't think a distance learning course carries a lot of weight especially for professional courses.You may pursue it if you are already on a job and are doing well for yourself already in your job.But in any case a regular course wins hands down as compared to a distance learning one.

I guess it will depend on the course and how disiplened you are to go online at home a really learn. Some courses I might be able to do online but some i thing I will have to be in class. I start classes in a couple of weeks. My two worst subjects math and english. I have not been in school for about thirty four years so feel I will need the instructors right there to help me. I do want to try an online course though. Maybe next semester.

Every thing has advantages and disadvantages but off course the regular course is more effective.Distance course is also good which bowls to the fact that when you are a family man and needs to take care of the house hold but wants to add value to your career.Then distance learning is good. where you go at a conduisive space of learning and still manage the home.

i generally think regular learning course is much more better than distance learning course, because in regular learning course u have the correct study environment which u don't get in distance learning course, but in the end it all depends on how much u are committed to your studies
