Abstract

The pandemic forces the education sector to conduct classes via online or electronic learning “E-learning”. This proposes a new challenge not only to the students but also to educators. An adaptation to online learning was seen in many schools in the whole world including many schools in the Philippines. This paper tackles about the effectiveness of online classes to engineering students of Holy Angel University. The researchers wanted to know in this study if the students are having a difficult time on understanding their lessons on the new mode of learning. The researchers used a descriptive method of quantitative research through the use of survey questions. Three major factors were considered in the questionnaire and a bar graph has been used to analyze the data that was gathered, this graphical representation was used by the researchers to compare the numbers or quantities of data.
