How are online classes in Krea and Ashoka University?

With the hit of COVID-19 all over the world, things were just getting worse. Ashoka University did a splendid job in the area and flourished in certain aspects.

Smooth transition - 

• The students were in the middle of their mid-term break when COVID-19 hit. So, naturally, the break got extended for a week and then the classes were supposed to begin online for the next 3 weeks of the Spring semester. 
• It was the sheer hard work of the admin team of the University that ensured that students face no trouble when starting with the online classes. 

Professors’ efforts - 

• The professors put in great efforts to resemble teaching like the offline one even when they did not have enough time to get used to the method. 
• It got easier as the recordings were available so students did not miss out on anything.

Exams - 

• With the education system shifting online, taking unfair advantage in exams became common. 
• In humanities, students are known to plagiarize their answers and in courses like engineering, students collaborate and cheating becomes quite easier. 

So, Ashoka University ensured doing its best in every aspect and has succeeded in doing so. It is not easy to change the way of things overnight. Offline teaching has been a traditional method of teaching. It was challenging for so many institutes in India to change their path from offline to online.
