QUESTION:4 I didn't get a chance to present a case. QUESTION-5 **Logging reflective observations on my concrete experiences of this last month .. To have a good understanding in case taking and making e-log of patient's data , it is necessary to have a practice of history taking ,which for us is complicated because of this pandemic. I express my gratitude for their help in making us students understand the cases and doing e-logs. It's great to have experience of taking history of patient's admitting in our hospital in 3rd semester itself and understanding what why and how the disease is being caused . These questions are making us curious to learn clinical subjects more efficiently. Online classes during this pandemic has made a huge impact on medical students life as this has never happened before and proffessors are trying their best to explain each and every topic exclusively without us being infront of them which might be really hard for them . I hope these online sessions end soon and we are excited to go to offline postings .
