  CONCLUSION “NOTHING CAN BEPERFECT” As we had discussed both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages even though what can be called “advantage” and ”disadvantage” depends on one’s point of view. One might prefer a type of learning rather than the other according to their needs and availabilities . Which is Better? It is very difficult question to answer as there are many different aspects.
