and teachers can interact, making it
boring for students. (Alvin, 2024).

when they get into online learning, their
feedback is limited.
According to (Alvin, 2024), students who got
a problem with their learning can straight

Any feedback from their teachers matters
because some students are more
comfortable seeing their teacher in front of
them and not in online sessions.
According to (Alvin, 2024), students need
more feedback for them to improve their lack
of knowledge.
