Introduction
In the middle of Pandemic classes are resumed through
online class. It is a new way for students to learn away from
school. It is commonly used by colleges that provide convenient
access to courses, lectures and learning activities. The modules
and activities of the course can be accessed from any gadgets
with internet connection anytime and anywhere.

Goal of the Survey

The goal of this survey is to know how college students
cope with this kind of new normal system in learning.

Population Sample
Participants included a random of 40 second-year
Engineering students (21 female and 19 male) of the University
of Nueva Caceres between the ages of 19 and 21 that is attending
online classes.

Sampling Strategy
Random Sampling is used in this survey, it is a process that
is done by selecting each of the subjects independently to the
others. The strategy gives each member of the population to have
an equal chance of being select as subject.

Survey Method

The survey method that is used in this survey is through

the internet. It is the easiest and only way for a researcher to
accomplish the survey. Since we still have this Pandemic wherein
personal or physical contact is avoided as much as possible.
This survey approach has a high response rate since the
interviewees answer questions at their own time.
