And the education fraternity saw the most noticeable change during this massive shift.

An Unprecedented Circumstances                                                               

Long ago children used to smile while sitting right next to each other in classes, the professor would rarely catch them sharing expressions and gestures. A crowd of students used to throng the hallways of high schools and universities right before the commencements of classes and right after ending also. Then the pandemic happened and the institutes had no choice but to shut down and opt for E-learning.  Unemployment also surged even though it did not affect me as I already have an CIPD assignments online, and Australia situated. Yet I could still sense the big gap by hearing from my friends. I finally decided to write a blog for the teachers and the students who I am related to professionally in order to help them cope up.

Just because students are at their home does not mean in any way to take the class lightly, especially if it’s of a subject related to numbers. Students should arrange a fine calm place with no noise and disturbance. They should also keep their smartphones away for as long as the class is being conducted. This will not only keep student informed and instill knowledge, it will also create an image of mutual respect between them and their professor.

Students should gather and arrange their stationary and notes at least 30 mins before an online lecture starts. They should make sure they’ve done their dissertation help company or assignments and have submitted them within the deadline stated by their instructor.  Even I faced trouble once during my online college lecture when I had forgotten to write my essay because of non-seriousness and failed.
