Comments given by students about the positive things that they noticed or discovered as a result of attending online classes are presented.
[Student comment ] Since I was able to rewatch the lecture video for the English courses, even though I’m not comfortable with English I gained a better understanding than a physical classroom.
[Student comment ] It felt as if everyone was sitting in the front row and made it easy to ask questions which was nice.
[Student comment ] Though I usually commute long-distance, thanks to the online lectures, I could select my courses without having to cram them all into specific days.
[Student comment ] There were times where I would have to go the campus just to print and submit an assignment, with the online courses I didn’t have that problem.
[Student comment ] Although there are some professors who don’t like it when we use our devices to look things up during the lecture, with the online lectures I could look up words that I didn’t know as I was listening and I could learn more effectively.
[Student comment ] It felt relieving being able to learn in a safe environment.
[Student comment ] It was easy to listen to the lecture as only the professor's voice could be heard.
[Student comment ] Though I normally become nervous when presenting in front of people and am unable to speak, online I could speak comfortably which was nice
[Student comment ] Since the presenter shares their screen, it was easy to see the documents.
[Student comment ] Though It takes some courage to speak up in a classroom, because the professor would pick up the questions written in chat, it felt like participation was higher.
[Student comment ] Could speak without panicking as I could read the script on my phone while screen sharing the presentation slides.
[Student comment ] It was easy to hear as those listening could adjust their volume.
[Student comment ] Because I could retake the recording for video presentations, I was able to submit a presentation I could accept.
[Student comment ] Since every group was made randomly, was able to have discussions with a variety of students which was exciting.
[Student comment ] Was able to participate comfortably as it was from my own home and physically far away from the other students.
[Student comment ] Felt more efficient as there was no need to spend time moving seats or searching for a partner.
[Student comment ] Was able to focus since there was no noise from other groups.
[Student comment ] For discussions using the Forum function, because I was able to read and understand other students comments I could deepen my own understating which was nice.
[Student comment ] Because the discussions using the Forum function move slowly, was able to make assertions based on more accurate information by looking up references during the down time.
[Student comment ] With the discussions done through the Forum function, the record remains, making it easier to review.
[Student comment ] The hurdle for taking 1st/7th period courses was lower.
[Student comment ] Able to freely check the content of each course online when trying to decide between which courses to take.
[Student comment ] For long courses such as 567 courses, online felt more efficient. It’s difficult to listen and focus for such a long period of time, but with the on demand model can pause in between, and start again after taking a break.
[Student comment ] For on demand model Information Science and Mathematics courses, was able to rewind and see example code or formulas that normally would only be shown for a moment.
[Student comment ] Online submission for comment sheets is absolutely better. Can take the time to write them out, and because the records remain it makes it easier to look back on.
