Strengths	Limitations
The e-learning and e-teaching in these difficult months have allowed us to continue our learning path. In addition, we have had more time available to dedicate to other activities (e.g., reading, fitness)	Lack of fundamental internships
Feasibility of timetables	Low quality internet connections
Possibility to follow the lectures again at different times during the day, as the presentations are available	Direct interactions with the lecturers are obviously low and for some courses it is fundamental to better understand some topics. Even though the lecturers tried their best to overcome this limitation, the normal approach is not the same. For example, it was not possible to use the microscopes and observe the histology slides.
Better concentration and the possibility to record the lectures	I am not happy about the internships. Indeed, the dental profession is extremely practical and after the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be urgent to reorganize to attend the clinic.
