Introduction For effective implementation of learning objectives, there are key contextual factors that come into play. These factors determine whether the teacher can communicate with the students. With the advent of the internet, online courses have sprouted resulting in the debate on the two options, traditional class setting, and the online class. According to Class-Size Reduction: Policy, Politics, and Implications for Equity, (2008) the class size in a traditional setting is essential because, due to the greater possibility of teacher-student interaction, teaching in a smaller classroom is more effective compared to a large classroom. Also, other factors will play a role in determining the outcome of the class. Let us take for instance a geography class with 70 students enrolled in class and 10 of them as online students. For the best outcome of the two scenarios, they will have the same objectives as Adam (2004) explains; at the end of the module, a successful student should achieve them. Learning objectives The learning objectives for the class will be; after the physical geography class, the student will be able to:   * Explain the relationship between the earth and the sun. How their interconnectivity affects the earth’s physical environment.   * Summarize the factors that cause natural hazards and explain their effect on human beings.   * Analyze the effect of human beings on the ecosystem and research on environmental matters such as management of waste, air and water pollution, as well as environmental planning.   * Analyze legitimate conclusions from the analysis of statistics and maps.   * Construct diagrams explaining and demonstrating the processes of rock, hydrologic and plate tectonic cycles as earth science. Campus learning The campus class students will attend this class in a medium-size auditorium that harmonizes a good seating arrangement and group work area. The structure of the main assignment is such that students will determine a research topic based on the syllabus; develop questions, and investigate methods. A research paper should be the outcome of the assignment; this should address a specific physical geographic issue while conducting relevant analysis with tangible conclusions. Students will present their research paper to the class at the end of the semester. Focused discussions, which will be done in groups of five and relate to the topic of the day. The discussion groups are forums where students interact with each other. There will be several discussion topics during the semester. Students are required to contribute their opinion and provide new information on topics. Students are also required to comment once a week on a topic and post to other groups to review. Each group will be required to create a log detailing the discussions and submitted at the end of the group session. Field trip will be essential in the geography class. This will aid the students in recognizing the environment as an important geographical topic. There will be one class field trip at the end of the semester where the students will be required to put to use statistical techniques, sampling methods in reporting on an activity that is relevant to physical geography. The students will
