write a paragraph about online class experienced
Answers
Answer:
online classes are more convenient, than traditional college classes, they should be looked at as typical college classes and not taken lightly. Being able to communicate with instructors and other students, that are taking these courses, has made me be a more active participant during the courses
Answer:
The studies are structured much better than I expected. I don’t really see a difference between the online and offline structures. Group work is done in separate channels, we have allocated time-slots for those discussions. When the time is over, we then join the general channel to continue the class.
My exam had to be done in a written form. The camera was switched on the whole time so that the teacher could see what we were doing. I think it was fair.
I am generally good with IT skills, therefore it was very helpful for me to receive clear instructions on what to do. The professors know how to use the different tools accordingly and the classes were, therefore, interactive and pleasant to attend.
The exams were held online, however a couple of times we faced some issues because of the quality of internet connection and hardware used by the students. It would also be nice to have an official “video on” mode implemented by universities, in order to force every participant to switch on the video and microphone when needed. It makes the interaction more lively and human.
Right now I’m focusing on my dissertation. Even before the self-isolation, I was already practicing distance learning while working on my thesis because my supervisor is based in Italy, so it’s not something new for me. We’d already been using Skype, Whatsapp, communicating via email, so the quarantine hasn’t really changed anything
