Abstract

Purpose: This paper deals with the educational experience of the students of the architecture department at Mehran University of engineering and technology, Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan during the peak covid-19 pandemic when everyone was working remotely from their homes, etc. This paper shows that when there was the first peak COvid-19 wave from mid-march to August 2020, how do students die with the sudden change in learning patterns from physical classes to online classes?

Methodology: A questionnaire was designed which was then filled by the students of the architecture department. The questionnaire dealt with different questions regarding the experience of remotely learning architecture. The students showed they were very uncertain about the online classes that they took during peak Covid-19(coronavirus),

Findings: Some students were satisfied from the online system whereas many of them were not satisfied with it at all. This paper proves that learning architecture online is a little bit difficult when it comes to study about practical/studio work, whereas theoretical classes can be, teach online very well.

Value:These findings will be helpful for the educational institutes for the future and can provide a good value to work more productive for online education.
