在线学习，德威学生有话说-系列3

　　在进行了七周的在线学习后，我们对一部分学生进行了在线采访，他们把在家的时间很好地规划了起来，并充分利用了学校老师提供的在线学习资源，以积极的态度面对当下，让自己在学习上取得了进步。这是系列报道三，请点击链接查看系列报道一和二：【在线学习，德威学生有话说】系列一，在线学习，德威学生有话说-系列2。以下是Alina C., Leo L.和Valeria L.同学的回答：

　　Alina C.

　　问题1：请问你一天的日常安排是怎样的呢？

　　回答1：我每天早上第一件事情是看一下邮件和teams然后浏览一下布置的作业和课件，然后我比较喜欢第一天就把所有布置的作业都写完，这样后面几天就有宽裕的时间去看别的内容或者自己放松放松。我比较喜欢这样的灵活的日程安排，因为很贴近大学生活，我们马上也要毕业了所以可以提前适应。这样可以灵活安排时间然后也不会很累。

　　问题2：你对布置的作业感觉如何？一般都是什么类型的作业呢？你觉得作业量够吗？一般花多少时间做作业呢？

　　回答2：我觉得现在作业变多了，每个学科每周都有作业，基本上都是一些练习题然后生活技能课会有一些贴近生活的作业。但我认为有些没有很重要所以很多同学不会很乐意地去完成，然后也有很多同学抱怨作业太多。但是完成时间应该是比较充裕的，我一般花四到五个小时写各科的作业，一般都是一下写完三天的作业。先预习再写，有的时候边写边预习。

　　问题3：当你需要帮助的时候，你感到都能得到老师的帮助吗？

　　回答3：虽然老师和我们有时差但是他们会在看到的第一时间回复我，也会有很多老师来关心我们最近的情况。我得到了很多帮助和反馈，还有鼓励吧。有一些不太理解的数学问题问老师都会发一些解题视频给我帮助我理解。我的任课老师们都会给我一些作业的反馈，有些给我很多鼓励让我比较有动力去做接下来的作业和学习。

　　问题4：平时跟同学们交流多吗？对你学习有帮助吗？

　　回答4：因为在家里所以我会每天都和身边的同学联系，大家都是互帮互助，如果有打不开的视频和文件我们也会互相分享一下来提高学习效率。在学习的过程中和同学们交流就好像回到了学校一样，但是还是不如在学校好，我也很想念学校。

　　问题5：在线学习让你形成了新的习惯吗？是什么呢？

　　回答5：我觉得我养成了自学的习惯，因为比起在学校的日子，老师教学的时间少了很多，所以有很多内容需要我们根据老师发的作业和课件自己学习以及消化。我觉得我比以前写作业更快了，效率也更高了，可能是希望早点休息。

　　Leo L.

　　问题1：请问你一天的日常安排是怎样的呢？

　　回答1：我在慢慢地进步。刚开始的前10天我一直处于假期模式，然后我意识到有些不对劲，于是我马上调整了自己，开始按照学校的时间表开始学习。我想像自己在学校：7:00醒来，上课，午餐，晚上上自习，运动等等。这两个星期效果很好，甚至比在学校还好，因为我不必花时间在教室，食堂，宿舍之间走动。然后，我开始遭遇了不顺。要知道，想像的在学校的场景与实际在家的情况有了冲突。我开始失去控制，主要问题是：数学和英语作业要花很长时间才能完成，而且我经常高估了自己的速度，这弄乱了我的计划。幸运的是，这种情况很快就停止了，现在，我已经尝试了一种新的时间表形式：不要将两个可能耗时的任务放在一起。例如，早上，我只学数学，一旦完成，就读一些书（与功课无关）。这给了我缓冲的时间。现在，我从不在晚上9:00之前做英语作业。

　　问题2: 你对布置的作业感觉如何？一般都是什么类型的作业呢？你觉得作业量够吗？一般花多少时间做作业呢？

　　回答2：生物和化学作业都有每周作业，分别需要花1个小时完成。当然，除此之外，我还会给自己一些自学的任务，例如做一些以前的卷子。数学的话每天都有作业，一般需要2小时学习并完成。英语跟其他科目不同，需要很多的创造性思维，花的时间比较多，我很喜欢迎接挑战。当然，其他科目也需要批判性思维能力。

　　问题3：在在线学习中你与老师和同学的交流变多了还是变少了呢？对你有帮助吗？

　　回答3：跟同学的交流少了，因为在学校的时候我在课堂上非常积极，所以跟老师的交流没有变化，甚至说跟他们聊天变多了一些。但是，我跟不教我课的老师交流为0，以前在学校的时候我都会跟他们打招呼。我很想念他们和同学们。我觉得这对我不太好，因为我说英语的时间少了，而且人是社交的动物。

　　问题4：当你需要帮助的时候，你感到都能得到老师的帮助吗？

　　回答4：我能得到大量的帮助，而且老师们回答得也非常快。在Teams上跟他们聊天很方便。

　　问题5：平时跟同学们交流多吗？对你学习有帮助吗？

　　回答5：我经常会跟我的好友们联系。

　　问题6：你觉得在线学习期间你有进步吗？

　　回答6：有的，我做生物作业比平时快了很多，自学让我效率更高。其他科目我也以平时的速度在学习。然而，最大的危机是我比平时更快地忘记事情了。可能因为我没有关注在修改问题上。我认为老师们应该把作业和课堂活动有意地设计成促进我们进行不断修正的方式。

　　问题7：在线学习让你形成了新的习惯吗？是什么呢？

　　回答7：是的，我每天都做计划。凡事预则立，不预则废。

　　问题8：你利用老师的办公时间多吗？都与老师们聊什么呢？你觉得有用吗？

　　回答8：老师们都非常努力地在工作。我们对老师的“办公时间”没有太大的区分。就像我之前说的，他们回复问题都很快，甚至比之前在学校回复邮件还要快。以前在学校也很少下楼去老师办公室。我问老师我不理解的问题以及我想要更深入了解的知识。

　　问题9：你花了一些时间适应在线学习吗？还是适应得很快呢？你有没有什么好的建议呢？你是如何激励自己坚持在线学习的呢？

　　回答9：我的适应过程可以参考我回答的问题1和7。我爸爸帮助了我很多，他总是一遍遍跟我说“预则立，不预则废”。我的朋友们也帮助了我很多，尤其是当我还处在假期模式的时候，看到他们那么努力地学习让我很有压力。我想，社交的影响既是威胁也是机遇，我不能让它影响到我。我通过对照CIE考试时间（约70天后）制定长期计划和目标来激励自己。

　　Valeria L.

　　问题1：你对布置的作业感觉如何？一般都是什么类型的作业呢？你觉得作业量够吗？一般花多少时间做作业呢？

　　回答1：每门科目的作业都是不太一样的形式。英语的话就是继续完成之前在学校里写的研究论文，然后数学生物化学这样的学科的话就是每周都会有练习题。跟原来不一样的是现状我们需要自己去根据视频来完成笔记，老师会进行检查，这也算是作业的一部分。我认为这个作业量是足够的，每天基本会花费四五个小时在作业上吧。

　　问题2：当你需要帮助的时候，你感到都能得到老师的帮助吗？

　　回答2：联系老师肯定是可以得到帮助的。比如说有一次我打不开英语老师发在teams群组里的视频，联系了老师，老师很及时地把视频放到了moodle上，让大家都能够打开。

　　问题3：平时跟同学们交流多吗？对你学习有帮助吗？

　　回答3：当遇到学习上的问题，或者是需要大家小组合作的作业时会和同学进行联系，在和老师有时差的情况下问同学会比较方便和快速。

　　问题4：在线学习让你形成了新的习惯吗？是什么呢？

　　回答4：网上学习让我更会自学的技巧了，不单单只是从老师提供的资料里汲取知识，也会从经常使用的网站上找到自己需要的材料和知识。我觉得这对我以后的大学生活很有帮助。

　　问题5：你花了一些时间适应在线学习吗？还是适应得很快呢？你有没有什么好的建议呢？你是如何激励自己坚持在线学习的呢？

　　回答5：我认为自己适应网上学习还算是比较快的。一开始的时候用teams用的很不熟练，视频图片都打不开，非常耗费时间。主要还是老师的帮助吧，老师提供的学习资源非常宝贵。动力还是来源于大学吧，自己知道今年的考试一定要考得好才能去理想的大学学习。

　　My Thoughts about Online Learning-Series 3 After seven weeks of online learning, we interviewed some of our students about their experiences. They planned their time at home well and took full advantage of the online learning resources provided by our school. They faced the present situation with a positive attitude and made progress in their studies. This is the 3rd series, please click the links to see series 1 and 2: My Thoughts about Online Learning Series 1, My Thoughts about Online Learning-Series 2. Here are Alina C., Leo L. and Valeria L.’s thoughts about online learning: Alina C.Question 1: What’s your daily routine like? How do you make your own timetable? Do you prefer a fixed timetable or a customized timetable on your own study needs and progress?

　　Answer 1: The first thing I do in the morning is to check my email and Teams to see if there’s any new assignments and lesson materials. I usually finish all my homework the day it is set, so I can learn other things or relax the following day. I like a flexible schedule, which is like that of universities. Since I will graduate soon, I can start getting used to it ahead of time. This way, I can use my time flexibly so that I don’t feel exhausted. Question 2: What do you think about the homework? What types of homework do you have? Do you think you have enough and how much time do you usually spend on it?

　　Answer 2: I think there is more homework than when we were at school! Every subject has weekly assignments, and homework normally takes the form of an exercise, while Lifeskills homework mirrors life. Some students don’t finish their homework because they don’t think it is important, and some of them complain about the workload. However, I think we have enough time to finish our homework, and I usually spend 4-5 hours on each subject. It takes me about 3 days to finish all of my homework. Question 3: Do you feel you can get help from your teachers when you need it? Can you provide some examples?

　　Answer 3: Even though some of teaches are in different time zones, they would always reply to me immediately and show that they care about me. I got a lot of help and feedback and encouragement. When I have questions about Maths, my teacher would record a video to explain the solution. My subject teachers would all give me feedback about homework, and some gave me the encouragement I needed to complete my homework and study! Question 4: Do you speak with classmates regularly? Does it help your learning?　　　　

　　Answer 4:  At home, I speak with my classmates every day, and we help each other. Whenever there is a video or a file that I can’t open, we help each other and improve our learning efficiency. I feel like I’m back at school when I communicate with my classmates, but I miss school. Question 5: Has online learning helped you to form new habits? If so, what?

　　Answer 5: Yes, I’ve formed the habit of self-study. Compared to days in school, there is less teaching online, and a lot of lesson materials need to be learnt through homework and materials assigned by teachers, which we must understand by ourselves. I think I finish my homework faster and more efficiently. Maybe it’s because I want to take a rest! Leo L.

　　Question 1: What’s your daily routine like? How doyou make your own timetable? Do you prefer a fixed timetable or a customized timetable on your own study needs and progress?

　　Answer 1: At first, I was in holiday mode for 10 days. Then I realized something wasn’t right and I switched to school timetable. I imagined myself at school: 7:00 wake up, lessons, lunch, evening study hall, exercise… That worked very well for two weeks, I mean, better than at school, because I did not have to go between classrooms, dining hall, and the boarding house. Then, something was not right. My Imagination clashed with my home environment. I began to lose control. The problem was this: Maths and English homework takes a long time to finish and I often overestimated my speed, which messed up my plans. When your plan is broken, you are basically in holiday mode again. Luckily this stopped soon, Now, for two days, I am experimenting on a new form of timetable: never put two potentially time-consuming tasks together. In the morning, I do math, but as soon as I finish, I read some books (not related to school work) to create a buffer. Now, I never do my English homework before 9:00 in the evening. Question 2: What do you think about the homework? What types of homework do you have? Do you think you have enough and how much time do you usually spend on it?

　　Answer 2: Easy question, for Biology and Chemistry, there are weekly assignments, each taking about one hour to finish. Of course, beyond that, I set my own self-learning tasks like doing past paper questions. Maths… daily task, takes about 2 hours to learn and do the homework. English is a lot trickier. But I think it is nice to be challenged. English, unlike other subjects, needs a lot of creative thinking. Homework-related creative thinking, while other subjects require critical thinking.  

　　Question 3: Do you interact more or less with teachers and classmates in online learning? Is it good for you?Answer 3: Yes and no. Certainly less with classmates, because at school, I am very “active” in classes. Teachers… no significant change. I even chat with some teachers more. But one big thing: I interact 0 with teachers who do not teach me, but back in school, I could say hi to them when they pass by (that is actually a large number each day). I miss them. Same goes for schoolmates and casual friends. I think it is not good for me because I speak less English, and I want to see them because Homo Sapiens are social animals. 

　　Question 4: Do you feel you can get help from teachers when you need it? Can you provide some example?

　　Answer 4: I get a lot of help. Teachers reply quickly. It is convenient to chat on teams. It is like a new version of WeChat. Question 5: Do you speak with classmates regularly? Does it help your learning?

　　Answer 5: I speak with some of my classmates who are my close friends regularly, but less with causal friends or classmates. Question 6: Do you feel you have progressed in studies during online learning?Answer 6: Yes. I finished Biology way ahead of schedule, self-learning is much faster. Other subjects are learnt at usual pace. However, one big problem is that I forget things faster than usual. Probably because I didn’t focus on revision. I think the teaching faculties should design their assignments and class activities so that we are encouraged to revise what we have learnt. 

　　Question 7: Has online learning helped you to form new habits? If so, what?

　　Answer 7: Yes. I make plans each day; I did not do that back at school. No preparation, no success (预则立，不预则废). 

　　Question 8: How much do you use teachers’ office hours? What do you do with your teachers within that time and how do you find it?Answer 8: Teachers are super hard at work. We do not quite have the notion of “office hours”. As I said, they reply very quickly. Even quicker than replying to emails back in school. You do not go downstairs to their offices to find them and go upstairs again, either. I ask teachers about things I do not understand and things I want to know more about. Question 9: Did you take some time to get used to online learning, or you have adapted it very quickly? Who helped you get used to online learning? Do you have some advice? How do you motivate yourself to stick to your online learning?Answer 9: My dad helped me a lot, mainly by tellingme “预则立，不预则废”(No preparation, no success) repeatedly. My friends helped, too. They are super hard-working people that I become very “stressed” to see them work hard every day while I was still in “holiday mode”. And I thought, social disturbance is both a threat and an opportunity. I cannot let it get me.I motivate myself by making long-term plans and goals with regard to CIE, which is coming in around 70 days. Valeria L.

　　Question 1: What do you think about the homework? What types of homework do you have? Do you think you have enough and how much time do you usually spend on it?Answer 1: Every subject has a different type of Homework. English homework is to finish writing a research paper started before the holiday, and Maths, Biology and Chemistry homework is to do weekly exercise. What’s different now is that we need to take notes based on video classes, and teachers will check our notes, which is part of our homework. I think the amount of homework is adequate, and I spend 4-5 hours a day doing it. 

　　Question 2: Do you feel you can get help from teachers when needed? Some example?

　　Answer 2: I can always get help from teachers when I contact them. For example, there’s once that I cannot open videos on Teams sent from my English teacher, and I contacted her, and she uploaded it to Moodle immediately so that everyone can open it. 

　　Question 3: Do you speak with classmates regularly? Does it help your learning?Answer 3: When I encounter learning problems or need to work in groups, I contact my classmates. This is especially convenient and efficient when I have time difference with some teachers. 

　　Question 4: Has online learning made you form some new habits that are helpful to you? If so, what is it?　　Answer 4: Online learning made me gain some new self-learning skills. Not only do I learn knowledge from materials provided by teachers, but I also find materials I need online. I think this will be very helpful to my university life. 

　　Question 5: Did you take some time to get used to online learning, or you have adapted it very quickly? Who helped you get used to online learning? Do you have some advice? How do you motivate yourself to stick to your online learning?

　　Answer 5: I think I got used to online learning pretty quickly. At first, I’m not very familiar with Teams, and cannot open videos and pictures, and it wasted a lot of time. I got help from teachers, who provided some valuable learning resources. My motivation is that I need to get good results this year to get into my dream university.
