ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate a distance learning class that faces some challenges in its implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The object of this research is Basic Typography Class at Telkom University, which is a practical, experiment-based course carried out for one semester. The qualitative research method is used both in analyzing and collecting data. A survey was also conducted among students as a phenomenology approach. The result of this study shows that students experienced many obstacles in participating in online learning, but there were also benefits that they did not get from conventional face-to-face learning, such as flexible lesson schedules. The result also suggests that to be more effective, a university may apply blended learning so that students can benefit from both learning methods.
