Abstract

The author shares personal experiences of his first full-time virtual course taught synchronous online due to COVID-19 conditions. The author attempts to enumerate advantages and disadvantages of virtual teaching in this mode versus in-person teaching of the same course. Literature search to support these personal experiences is performed. Lastly, student feedback via survey on such course are supplied providing statistical data on such course teaching modality that have been suddenly pervasive with the COVID-19 gripping the world scene. Even comparative course grades are supplied to compare any major up-tick or down-tick from the pre-COVID era.
