4. Other

“not much... however, I do prefer going to lecture in person, the environment is more motivating”�“Nothing”

“Except face to face interaction....nothing much”

“The involvement that a physical class has is not similar to online classes. I miss sitting next to friends and learning and enjoying in classes at the same time. No questions, professors have done an exceptional job to teach us through zoom but honestly it is not as effective as a normal class.”
