AIM: To analyze the problems faced by teachers and undergraduates online teaching.

METHODS:A self-designed questionnaire survey and result of examination comparison were used. The contents of the questionnaire include the time used before and after class, the confusion faced by online teaching and the self-evaluation of teaching effect. 63 students and all teachers were participants in the questionnaire survey. The survey is from May 2020 to June 2020.

RESULTS: The average time spent by students before class of online teaching had no difference with that of offline teaching, while the average time spent by teachers for online teaching before class was significantly longer than that for offline teaching. 63% of the undergraduates considered that online teaching takes much more time to review after class. 95% of the students admitted that online teaching was easier to lose concentration because of lack of interaction with teachers, and 73% of teachers though that for online teaching they had less passionate compared to off line teaching. Regarding to the questionnaire survey, 73% of the instructors expected that the effect of online teaching would be worse than that of offline teaching. Surprisingly, 95% of the students thought that there had no significant difference in knowledge mastering between online and offline teaching after reviewing of courseware. For the future teaching model, 91% of the teachers and 79% of the students preferred the combination of watching pre-recorded video and live broadcasting.

CONCLUSION: The lack of interaction is the primary issue of online teaching. Online teaching can achieve the same effect as offline teaching,whereas it needs more post-class time for students. The combination of watching pre-recorded video and live-broadcasting is the online teaching mode recommended by teachers and students.
