ABSTRACT

Degrees are being offered by universities not only on campus but also via distance learning offered online. Advancements in information technology and the availability of cheap mobiles and laptops as well as inexpensive internet options have contributed towards the expansion of online offerings. The students were asked to share their experiences and what they felt regarding their performance through frequent evaluations. Students on the practical course felt that the course was interesting overall and easy to understand, but they required continuous guidance in laboratory sessions. Students on both the theoretical course and the practical course found it difficult to complete the assignments due to a lack of interaction with other students and with the faculty. In addition, students found it hard to understand the solution supplied. Frequent and regular discussions would be required to build the required knowledge base for application-based questions with sound deductive reasoning capabilities.
