A student is writing a Synthesis Essay on the impact of online learning on education. The sources are:

Source A emphasizes that online learning provides greater accessibility and flexibility for students.

Source B argues that online learning can lead to a decline in student engagement and academic performance due to a lack of in-person interaction.

Source C highlights studies that show online learning can be as effective as traditional classroom learning, as long as students are self-disciplined and have access to the necessary technology.

The student’s thesis is that online learning offers great potential when combined with effective teaching strategies, but there are significant challenges that need to be addressed.

Statement:
The student should avoid presenting Source A and Source B together in the same section, as this may create confusion about whether online learning is beneficial or harmful.
