ead the paragraph from "The Drawbacks of Computer Learning."

Question

Some students who took part in the experiment were more enthusiastic about it than I was. They argued that they liked being able to set their own pace. I am not trying to deprive students of the chance to learn at their own pace. But why should our school develop its entire educational program on pacing? There are many ways to review challenging materials without having to rely on a computer. For example, students can review information by rereading the material in their textbooks.

In this paragraph, how does the author argue against other perspectives?

Answer 1

In the paragraph, the author argues against other perspectives by using the following responses:

1. She claims that students can get the same benefits from non-computer methods. - The author emphasizes that students can review challenging materials through traditional methods, such as rereading textbooks.

2. She claims that the benefits they identify are not as important as other concerns. - While not explicitly stated, the author suggests that the overall educational program should not be solely based on pacing, which implies that there are more significant concerns to consider.

The other options (claiming that only students who are behind enjoyed the course and that all students learned less in the online education setting) are not supported by the information provided in the paragraph.
