Assignments: from Paper to Electronic

Harry Han


Communication makes our life comfortable. One of the best communication systems developed during the 20th century, internet has been providing people convenience and nowadays, paper-printing seems ancient. Thus due to the improvement of communication worldwide, colleges are finding internet a useful source of convenience for handing assignments in.

Online sites known as “T-Square” and “Web-Assign” are a convenient systems for Georgia Tech professors and students, where they can have access to assignments and homework online. As a result, professors are able to assign homework to students, in their very own desks, without handing each student a hand-out for their assignment. Moreover, it also became convenient for students as students did not have to track down their professors to find out what they have missed as they only had to log in to T-Square and check out the assignment block in their classes. However, with great convenience, students had to show some more maturity in their management with assignments.

As posting up and handing in assignments became easier, some students find themselves finishing their homework during the last hour of assignment due date. Moreover, students now have fewer excuses to earn a freebie from late assignments because all their assignments are posted online and missing a class due to sickness will not extend their due date. Therefore through this type of online system, students can learn to finish their tasks without other people around them nagging.

Online posts came as a convenient and fast education system for both professors and students. However with much convenience, students of higher education find themselves in need of much maturity and organization with their assignments. In a nutshell, students may thrive within higher education if they are not influenced to procrastinate due to convenient online post assignments.
