Few classes after midterm were redesigned to fit into the online course. General lessons could be done by using YouTube videos created by Proud Arunrangsiwed, the main lecturer of the course. However, it might be impossible to run an online examination. Although the school provided all teachers with the online space with Moodle package, I could not be sure about the honesty. I think more than half of the students may complete all items in the exam by themselves, but there might be a number of students let someone else complete the exam for them. I could think about, some will let his mother, father, or brother finish the exam for ones. Some may hire a high-knowledged friend to fill in the answer with two or more devices.

I got another plan, but the plan is not good enough to be run. Like, I might let all students share the current location with one while they were working on the exam. However, they could still call each other and ask for the answer from their friends. They could do video conference within their group, too. There are million ways available to cheat.

Finally, I change the final exam to be the final project. I let my students practice a speech related to their major, Business computer. They were asked to search for a set of speech or writing the speech by themselves. The speech has to be at least 100 words. They could practice over and over again. When they are ready, they would video tape themselves with their cell phones. They would post the video into the private study group on Facebook. That is the final project of the class English for Business Computer. This project is just like this due to COVID-19. The students could not cheat because they have to speak with their own voice, and they do not have to travel around or go outside their place. They would just sit, practice, take a video, and submit in a private group.

For other classes that we did not run them face-to-face, like I had said, I recorded my voice and upload it with PowerPoint to YouTube. My students were asked to ask some questions in the comment area of the particular videos. I checked it as their class attendance. Everything could be run so well. If the government still need us to stay home, I would run the class this way, but I hope COVID-19 will be gone so soon.
