Abstract

The case study presented in this report provides information on the challenges of teaching physics for undergraduate students. We discuss the physics teaching method before and during the spread of COVID-19. Within the text, we explored the following topics: (1) Education before COVID-19; (2) The study problems in physics; (3) The face to face teaching methods; (4) Why is physics necessary for life? (5) Physics is associated with human thought; (6) Effective physics teaching skills; (7) Evaluation and assignments; (8) Characteristics of physics teaching skills; (9) Teaching physics and digital technology; (10) Challenges of the phys-ics quality teaching during COVID-19.
