Online learning

I do not think online classes will totally replace traditional classroom learning. There are some things you have to learn hands on in a classroom. Online classes are definitely more convenient especially for nontraditional students who work and have families. I think most online classes require more work than a traditional class. You have to do a lot more required discussions online and in a traditional classroom you might not be called on to discuss subjects every class meeting.

I do not think all students should be required to participate in online learning. It is not for everybody. You have to be very disciplined to keep with your work and due dates. I think a lot of colleges and universities will be offering more and more online classes. A lot of the general requirement courses are easily done online but a lot of upper level major classes would be better offered in a classroom setting.

Government Regulations on Fast Food

I do not think the government should pass laws regulating the types of food served at fast food restaurants. Most fast food restaurants offer healthier choices now. Also, it is the individual person's responsibility to make the right choices and utilize moderation when eating fast food. Restaurants like Wendy's offer choices like baked potatoes, salad, or chili with their combo meals instead of fries at no additional charge. The kids meals at Wendy's also come with the option of mandarin oranges instead of fries and low fat milk instead of soda. I also like that on Wendy's website you can build your meal and see the nutrition content of that meal. Healthy eating is all about planning ahead! Most fast food restaurants offer healthier options for kids meals. Burger King offers apple fries with a low-fat caramel dipping sauce instead of french fries. They also offer kids meal options like macaroni and cheese. People today need to take more responsibility for themselves instead of leaving it up to the government to regulate everything we do.
