UHLB Section 94 Overcoming Challenges of Studying Online by Wan Farah Wani Wan Fakhruddin https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se Let your voices be heard! en-us 2022-03-21 13:59:18 UTC 2022-03-29 12:39:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f399.png Loai AL-Sabahi https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118549276 The problems I faced during my online learning journey were mainly related to workspace, internet connection, and computer capabilities. The photo above explains is all. As you can see I did not have a chair or a desk during my studies, and due to internet connection problems, I had to connect my laptop using ethernet wire. In addition, I also used my brother's computer as a backup plan because I didn't trust my laptop enough, it could've stopped working at anytime. It was a tough exam, but thankfully I managed to survive.

During the semester break I tried to solve these problems. First, I started saving money to be able to buy a new chair and desk to set up a new studying environment. Second, I moved to the city to have more reliable internet connection and subscribed to a new internet plan to cope with online learning requirements. Finally, I couldn't afford to buy a new laptop, but fortunately my father received a new laptop for his job and I asked him to send his old one to me. The laptop was still in good condition and until the moment it serves all my purposes. ]]> 2022-03-29 04:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118549276 https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118555916 I faced a few challenges shifting from face to face learning to online learning. One of the main challenge was my internet connection, but sooner or later I fixed it. The next challenge I faced was with my laptop as it wasn't fast enough and it always lagged, but later on I upgraded to a better SSD and more RAM, I have been doing great ever since.

Besides that, I needed an extra monitor and monitor to have a flexible and smooth workflow, so I had used my savings to get them and hopefully nothing goes wrong after this.]]> 2022-03-29 04:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118555916 Siam Rahman siam4 https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118560566 Fortunately, I didn't have much problem coping with online learning. Alhamdulillah, I had a stable internet connection and a good laptop. Sometimes it did get a little boring but that was not that big a deal as there were always recordings to recap. ]]> 2022-03-29 04:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118560566 khairulfahmi1 https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118606111 To maintain my focus during online classes, I decided to rearrange my room, so that I have a area that will be used exclusively for online classes. This is very helpful in preventing my focus from drifting during classes. 

In addition, I also try to frequently communicate with my lecturers whenever I have questions. With this, I am able to ensure that my understanding of the course materials are in no way affected by the changes due to online learning.

Other than that, I have been very fortunate since I haven't encountered much difficulty during online classes. ]]> 2022-03-29 04:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118606111 Farzad Khan Chowdhury farzad7 https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118612912 To overcome the unexpected internet problems, I made sure to buy a internet package which can be used during the emergency. Fortunately I didn't have any problem with my laptop and that helped me complete my assignment's , homework's and tests smoothly. I had to isolate myself in my room during the classes as to avoid getting distracted. ]]> 2022-03-29 05:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118612912 Ali Akber aliakber https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118618983 Although online learning saves me the trouble of traveling and can study comfortably and more conveniently, I prefer face-to-face classes even more. At home, I get distracted very easily and online classes make it harder to communicate with lectures as well as classmates. Online classes also makes me sleepy fast. 

Now I have gotten used to online learning and have gotten better at coping with it. I have saved up and bought a new laptop to make my work more smoother, I have found new ways to make communications easier. Online classes have also given me more freedom in planning my day. I still prefer face-to-face classes even more but at the same time, I am not going to deny the advantages of online learning.

A bad internet connection was one of the issues I had to deal with. My home had just 8Mbps of Wi-Fi speed when I was in foundation, and my sister also need to use the same internet connection for her online class too. As a result, the online class may lag from time to time, and I may miss critical points in the lecture. Watching the recorded lecture video to revise for the bit I missed is my solution to this problem. But now that I've upgraded my Wi-Fi plan, I'm no longer having this issue.

Time management, Disruption, and Procrastination. Most of these challenges starts from the moment that I started my college study.  
 
In the first semester (foundation), one of the most challenges that I had faced is time management. Since I am studying from home, which is not in Malaysia the time difference (5 hours) was a struggle for my time management. This problem concerned me for too long and it was about to let me hold my study for one semester. And the way how I overcome this problem is by changing my sleep habits.   
 
 
As for the second challenge (disruption), since we are studying at home there are so many disruptions that can interpret our studying. Staring with the phone, family, and construction nearby. The solution for this is to wear a headset and try to get used to studying at home. 
 
Lastly, procrastination, this problem is not spur-of-the-moment. I struggled with this problem from too long, but in online learning, this challenge becomes harder for me to handle. The solution to this problem is to force me to finish everything day by day, this will not always work but I am doing my best.]]> 2022-03-29 05:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2118654050 SOO WEI XIANG A21MJ5038 https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119021079 Online studying has its own pros and cons, for me personally, I've been stuggling with the wifi connection problem with my laptop, somethings is malfunctioning in my laptop I assume it's the wifi card. I have not solve or find the main cause of it yet but I did bought an Ethernet cable to solve the problem for the time being and hopefully will send my laptop for a checkup in the store in the future before I step my foot in UTM.]]> 2022-03-29 09:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119021079 NIK AISHAH nikaishah https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119029664 Although online learning has its own perks, it does come with some disadvantages. What I do to overcome these challenges is to firstly ensure I have a functioning laptop. This avoids any technical problems that may occur. Secondly, I set a doable schedule for myself of when I should study and try to allocate my time wisely. This way, I can catch up on my studies if I was distracted in class. Next, I set a specific area in my room for learning and customize it to have all the essentials I might need while studying. Finally, to avoid miscommunication, I personally message my lecturers to ask for more details about their instructions.

I made sure my internet is stable enough and my laptop can run processes smoothly. I also made sure I followed a semi-flexible routine so i can have a sense of control and direction as i go through the day. I also believe that a challenge that i was able to overcome is increasing the ability to communicate with lecturers in the preferred manner so that i can progress academically without much hiccup]]> 2022-03-29 12:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119226297 AHMAD HAFIZ ahmadhafizali https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119243779 To overcome the challenges of online learning, i made sure to have a comfortable place for me to study and attend classes, a good wifi connection so that i can attend my classes without facing connection trouble. I am pretty sure there are still some upgrades can be done on my online learning setup to make me more comfortable and accustomed to online learning.]]> 2022-03-29 12:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wanfarah/ehrlx9e7cmj5j8se/wish/2119243779
