Students are a lucky bunch: they’ve got options to which they may choose to use for their courseworks. But they’re also in for a tricky trip as they would have to choose the most effective option in their own unique context.

Take for instance the case of model answers: an online essay resource over the offline version. Which among the two reap the most benefits?

First off are the offline essay resources. An offline essay resource is anything un-digitised. It is rather crude – in print in reference books, handbooks, or any related material.

An online resource is any digitised version of the print material, or is solely published as a digital material.

Round 1

With the printed offline resources, students are bound to work their pieces in writing as well. On the other hand, the online version renders students able to immediately work on their laptops, or in typing.

The digitised version readily allows students to edit their own stuff (probably in line of what they read in the resources). Hence, in terms of speeding up the writing process – an online essay resource wins.

Round 2

While an offline resource may be contained in one big, bulky book, the online piece is accessible in most word processors, or via email. And if students stubbornly prefer their books, they might not be able to bring it everywhere (library-only). Otherwise, there’s a lot of muscle-building with having to saunter with it.

If students think of shrinking it to pages, they’ll have to spend for scanning or photocopying the offline piece. Since, the online involves no amount of sweating/paying, it remains to be victorious.

T.K.O.

The online essay had emerged triumphant because of its convenient and practical characteristics. It is laid in a platform accessible to almost every student – in the Internet. And it wipes out barriers to speed essay writing, leaving students freed from any form of anxiety derived of written courseworks.

Most of all, students are rewarded by a bevy of online resources available, from engineering, nursing, even to the business’ marketing essay pieces. It’s inevitably a landslide-win for online resources.
