Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics in the form of tabulation and data visualization, used ANOVA for comparing the responses of male students with female students. The results show that the online class as an alternative to class meetings was declared good by the students. The respondents’ preference in terms of the choice frequency and the mean score on each aspect of the assessment indicator shows a High level. There is no significant difference between the responses of male and female students.
