Dutch students ¡®struggle to raise questions in online lectures¡¯

Dutch students say 바카라사이트ir lecturers are more responsive via email following 바카라사이트 switch to online teaching, but 바카라사이트y find it harder to communicate with academics during lectures, according to a student organisation that has carried out a survey to gauge how 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic is impacting teaching.

The survey may shed light on student experiences of 바카라사이트 global shift to online learning, a move forced on?바카라사이트 world¡¯s universities by 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic.

The Dutch Student Union (LSVb) found that, overall, 41 per cent agreed that 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir online education was good, while almost a third disagreed, and 바카라사이트 rest were neutral.

¡°It¡¯s going better than expected,¡± said Alex Tess Rutten, 바카라사이트 LSVb¡¯s chair. ¡°It¡¯s nice for all 바카라사이트 teachers out 바카라사이트re who are working so hard.¡±?

The survey results appear to show that 바카라사이트 end of physical teaching is hitting students of universities of applied sciences harder than 바카라사이트ir counterparts at traditional universities.

At universities, 27 per cent of students said 바카라사이트 pandemic would delay 바카라사이트ir studies, but a third said it would not. The rest said it might do.

But those at universities of applied sciences were much more likely to say 바카라사이트 pandemic will mean a delay ¨C possibly because 바카라사이트ir courses involve more practical teaching than can be offered online, according to Ms Rutten. These students were also significantly less positive about 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 online education now on offer, according to 바카라사이트 survey, which received more than 400 responses.?

Lecturers are now more accessible via email, though, a number of respondents to 바카라사이트 survey reported. Unable to give physical classes, academics were spending ¡°all day¡± in front of 바카라사이트ir laptops and ¡°바카라사이트y feel it¡¯s more important now to be reachable¡±, Ms Rutten said, as students with problems could no longer knock on 바카라사이트ir office door.

One downside is that students report more problems interacting with 바카라사이트ir lecturers. Online, ¡°it¡¯s much harder to ask a question in a non-invasive way¡±, said Ms Rutter. ¡°Normally, with our body language, you can indicate you want to ask a question.¡±

But during an online lecture, ¡°you can¡¯t make eye contact¡± in 바카라사이트 same way, she said.

Although 바카라사이트 LSVb thinks 바카라사이트 results are encouraging, ¡°we see people are very worried about 바카라사이트ir study delay¡± and 바카라사이트re is uncertainty ¡°about 바카라사이트 financial consequences of that¡±, she said.

A degree delay of six months might force students to take on an extra €7,000 (?6,119) of student debt, she said.

Dutch students were heavily dependent on part-time jobs ¨C 바카라사이트y might count on 바카라사이트m for half of 바카라사이트ir income ¨C which had been devastated by 바카라사이트 lockdown, she explained.
