Experience on Home Studying During Covid-19 Pandemic

I have felt online learning since last year. This is the second semester for me to undergo the online learning process. talk hard? it is indeed difficult to adapt to changes in the offline learning system by meeting in class and immediately on the online system where all discussion and examination work is all using the online system. Sometimes boredom also comes because the learning process is only staring at the screen continuously, unable to interact with friends, and also the lecturers. Not to mention the internet connection problem which sometimes becomes a barrier in running this online classroom system. and it becomes a serious problem during the test process but the internet connection is not stable.

In the early days of running an online learning system, of course there were some difficulties experienced, such as in understanding the material presented, especially the material that was only delivered by uploading material files, so you had to understand it independently. The difficulty is when there is material about logical analysis or calculation questions which require a detailed explanation from the lecturer.

One of the problems that often occurs in this online class system is that students are sometimes not focused and neglectful of the deadlines for submitting assignments. This is because every student must keep updating the assignment collection information on the site that has been provided. Therefore, internet service facilities must always be available properly, but not all students who undergo this online learning system have sufficient internet facilities. so in my opinion, this is one of the weaknesses of online learning systems

Online exams are also often deemed ineffective in educating student character, especially honesty. because online examination supervision still experiences many obstacles and shortcomings because there is still less implementation of more optimal supervision. Of course this is with the hope that the results of student examinations purely reflect the academic quality of each student.

Honestly, sometimes I feel bored and bored in undergoing online learning as it is today. Because the activities carried out are of course mostly just staring at the computer screen, and every day within a few hours it will continue to be like that and be repeated. It is natural for students to feel bored and bored due to the lack of interaction with lecturers and classmates, which of course is due to being limited by online facilities. Therefore there should be an innovation that can make the online learning process that has been running for more than 1 year so that it is more interesting and does not have a saturation effect.

The way that can be done is perhaps with a more interactive lecturer in providing material such as with the addition of a blackboard so that it will add a more detailed learning impression than just a powerpoint slide show. Especially in the material for calculating numbers. besides that this method will also have an effect on a sense of learning like in class in general offline before this pandemic.

I and of course all the other students really hope that the pandemic will quickly pass and things will return to normal, with the hope that we can return to doing offline learning as before
