Example: 'Many experts argue that online education is effective.'
Example: 'Many experts argue that online education is effective.'
Vocabulary
weak sides: This phrase sounds unnatural in academic English. A more appropriate alternative is drawbacks, commonly used when discussing disadvantages.
Example: 'The drawbacks of online education include lack of interaction.'
Example: 'The drawbacks of online education include lack of interaction.'
Grammar
flexible: This is an adjective, but a noun is required to express the concept. Replace it with flexibility.
Example: 'The flexibility of online education is appealing to many students.'

let them study: This phrase lacks clarity. A more accurate structure is allowing them to study.
Example: 'This format allows them to study at their own pace.'

Vocabulary
without compromising their job responsibilities: While grammatically correct, this phrase can be improved for clarity. A better alternative is while maintaining their job responsibilities. Other good options: 'maintaining responsibilities', 'balancing work and study'.
Example: 'Many professionals can pursue further education while maintaining their job responsibilities.'

Example: 'Students must complete their coursework on time.'

Vocabulary
notable benefits: The word 'notable' may not be the most accurate choice in this context. 'Significant benefits' is more appropriate when emphasizing importance.
Example: 'The significant benefits of this approach are clear.'
Example: 'The significant benefits of this approach are clear.'
Vocabulary
reduced social interaction: Consider replacing 'reduced' with limited to better convey the nature of the issue. Alternatives include 'limited interaction', 'restricted social engagement'.
