When I used to attend regular classes with my friends, after entering the class, the first thing that I used to do was look for them in the whole class and after meeting them, we all used to discuss about the assignments, and the new technology they are learning, etc. Also, I used to ask for help in case I was stuck somewhere in my assignment. The situation has completely changed now as we all are attending online classes.

Now, before joining the online classes, I pray to God for a stable internet connection so I can attend the classes and learn without wasting any time. For any help in my project, first I prefer to search it online because I do not know whether any of my friends would be free at that time or not.

I prefer online classes in which the video is pre-recorded than live teaching.

Also, if students have any doubt then a separate live class should be conducted for them as there are certain restrictions in a live class like if the internet connection is not fine then the student would end up missing the lecture. In online classes, we could stay with our family and if there is any event, then we could take classes and attend the event as well. The drawback of online classes is we lose connection with classmates then we could not get in touch with them for discussing another way to solve the same problem.

I am learning to play the guitar by taking online classes. Due to this lockdown, I am getting sufficient time to learn the same. I am also taking online MOOCs classes from Coursera. You could also pursue a MOOC’s course of your choice, just look for the content while choosing a platform. Choose the subject of your choice and then go ahead. Also,

I watch movies sometimes and fly kites in the evening every day.

My faculty has told us to complete the subject first then revise the same from time to time to get a better grip on the various topics of the subject. Till now, our college has not shared the updated exam schedule, however, we have been told that the dates would be announced 15 days before the exams. So that the students could get time to prepare for the exams.

I am preparing to give SSC CHSL exam which is postponed till further notice. As I know my weaker section is Static G.K. and Reasoning, so, I am practising by solving previous years question papers regularly. In case, I feel the need for classes, then I search for the same on YouTube.

LPU can be worth considering if you want a larger university environment
