Question 16 (multiple choice) asked about disadvantages compared with traditional classroom teaching. Undetailed interpretation (69.39%) and ineffective feedback channel (59.18%) were the top responses, followed by wide range of content (28.57%) and repetition with classroom teaching (20.41%).

"The date in Table 20 shows that 69.39% of the students believe articles in Wechat platform are not explained in detail. Other drawback of this mode is its inconvenient feedback channel so that 59.18% of the students choose the option of ineffective feedback channel."
