supervision. However some students find it positive because it only allows the participation of
students who are responsible and keeps the disinterested student body away from the lessons.
Hence, the change in student participation in online education may vary depending on
students’ personality traits.
In order to be successful in online education, you need to pay attention to attendance in the
same way you do in regular education settings. Regular attendance is important to keep up
with the tasks and the learning material and increase your motivation as well. You need to be
persistent in your studies if you want to achieve more. Hence, attendance is the first step in
learning. You can set your alarm if you have trouble waking up. Once the classes start, you
need to attend them all, hence you need to minimize disruptions by silencing your phone. You
can make to-do lists to make sure you attend your classes and do the required work every day.
Taking care of your physical needs is crucial in online education such as having enough sleep.
When you have sufficient sleep, it will be easier to wake up in the morning and concentrate
on your classes.
2.1.4. ASSESSMENT
Ease of access to resources such as the internet and computers that are used in the provision of
online education is important to prevent social divisions and to ensure equality of opportunity
in education as well as to offer sound assessment and evaluation. Evaluation is not possible
without assessment and evaluation without a sound teaching process will not provide
significant data. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the necessity of systematically
addressing this issue. Trainings on assessment and evaluation methods that are specific to
online education should be organized.
Being mentally ready for online assessment is crucial for students. There are some methods
you can use to make the best of assessment. If you will have an online test, make sure your
computer is working and there are no problems with the audio and video. You should learn
the format of the test and read and understand the guidelines beforehand. You can do a similar
test on your own to get ready. Make sure your space is well-lit and quiet with minimum
distractions. Study all class materials before the test. If you are given an assignment to turn in
online at a specific time, make a plan and follow the steps in your plan to finish your work by
the deadline. First of all, you research your topic and find your resources. If they are online,
bookmark them and make a note of your references. When you have collected all the
necessary info, start on your assignment. Make breaks when you are tired or lose motivation
