Communication problems. 5 Chapter-2 Discussion 6 2.1 Online class: An online class is a course conducted over the Internet. They are generally conducted through a learning management system, in which students can view their course syllabus and academic progress, as well as communicate with fellow students and their course instructor. In general, many online classes are self-paced, and students can choose the time slot to study. In some cases, these classes also provide a particular schedule and the student is required to be available in order to maximize their learning. 2.2 Pandemic: A Pandemic is an outbreak of infectious disease that occurs over a wide geographical area and that is of high prevalence, generally affecting a significant proportion of the world’s population, usually over the course of several months. Pandemics arise from epidemics, which are outbreaks of disease confined to one part of the world, such as a single country. Pandemic, especially those involving influenza, sometimes occur in waves, so that a post pandemic phase, marked by decreased disease activity, may be followed by another period of high disease prevalence. The World Health Organization (WHO) declares a pandemic when a disease’s growth is exponential. This means the growth rate skyrockets, and each day cases grow more than the day prior. In being declared a pandemic, the virus has nothing to do with virology, population immunity, or disease severity. It means a virus covers a wide area, affecting several countries and populations. 2.3 online classes and pandemic: From Jan-2020 onwards, lots of things have changed due to the pandemic. Students have seen lots of changes all of a sudden. Lots of trauma is all around the world. The virus is affecting the economy very badly. All the frontline workers and doctors are putting their lives at stake for society and working day and night to end this pandemic. The virus has brought new ways of learning. Students had to study the whole academic year online due to the virus and spotted many pros and cons for learning from home. There was a sudden change from traditional education to online education. Online classes have emerged as crucial in the field of education. Not only is the education even the extracurricular activities being carried out through the online medium only. 7 Chapter-3 Analysis & Findings 8 A: Online classes during pandemic is a blessing for the students Responses type 1.

But ultimately, we can see that online classes were very useful to students in this pandemic situation 16 Chapter-5 Recommendations 17 Recommendations: The following recommendations are given to overcome the problem of online classes during pandemic: Student should be more attentive during online classes. Government should make internet access easier and less costly for all students. All technology related to online classes should be available to students. If teacher and students can use their device properly (e.g. turn on their cameras) online should be more effective. Teacher should take feedback from the students after classes. 18
