Questions
Day 1 Twitter chat
Topic 1: Pharmacy learning & assessment during lockdown
1. Do you agree, that learning about the content of the courses (lectures or practicals) in the semester was easier due to lockdown? (e.g. the timing of the online activities/lectures was suitable, the internet connection was good, voice and video were clear in live online activities/lectures, recordings were provided, there was more time etc.). If YES, how? If NO, why?
2. Was it easier to ask questions from and communicate with the university doctors during live online activities/lectures as compared to activities/lectures in a classroom in the university? If YES, how? If NO, why?
3. Do you agree, that you have learnt more about the content of the courses (lectures or practicals) in the semester due to lockdown? (e.g. did you understand the lectures better, you had more time etc.) If YES, how? If NO, why?
4. About practical work in the labs, do you think the alternative activities which were provided during the lockdown, were appropriate for learning (e.g. easier to follow, similar to the ones in actual labs, you learnt equally the same skills which you would have learnt in the actual lab)?
5. Do you think that there are some skills and knowledge you would have achieved better if the university was open (i.e. if there was no lockdown)?
6. Do you think you spend more time on learning the same content of the course (lectures or practicals) in the semester as well as assignments, due to lockdown as compared to if the university was open (i.e. if there was no lockdown)?
7. Do you think you spend more money on learning the same content of the course (lectures or practicals) as well as assignments in the semester, due to lockdown as compared to if the university was open (i.e. if there was no lockdown) (e.g. spent money on good electronic devices, good internet network for online activities/lectures etc.)
8. If you were given alternative assignments to do due to lockdown, was there sufficient information provided about how to work on and submit these assignments?
9. If you were given alternative assignments to do due to lockdown, how do you compare them with the original assignments if the university was open (i.e. if there was no lockdown) (e.g. achieved more marks, easier, took less time etc.?
10. Did you receive appropriate feedback on your work, learning, assignments and/or exams from the university doctors?
If YES, please comment on it (e.g. sufficient, relevant, easier to understand, quick & prompt etc.)?
If NO, what feedback would you like to have from the university doctors on your work, learning, assignments and/or exams?
11. What effect the online education or e-learning, due to lockdown, had on your grades and GPA?
