Practices of online teaching, learning and assessment of the students of the BSc in EEE programme during the COVID-2019 pandemic

Most of the educational institutions, from primary level to tertiary level, had to be closed when the coronavirus pandemic affected the world in 2020. Then, educators became concerned about the education of the students as they were completely relying and habituated on face-to-face teaching–learning processes. This paper reports on how the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has faced that challenges in bringing the students to online classes as well as how they assessed and evaluated the students. A survey was conducted among the students who registered for the course with 14 survey questions. From the results, online classes are the best solution to the challenge; some students faced connectivity problems but it was concluded that the main purpose of teaching online is to continue the education process. Despite some challenges encountered, the teaching–learning process of the teachers and students was successful through this newly reformed system of education.   Keywords: Online assessment, online class, online teaching, online learning, COVID-19.
