Summary/Abstract: With COVID-19 pandemic, which was started in Wuhan, Chine, and is still affecting the whole world as well as ourcountry, education offered distantly. This research aims to determine the students' opinions and their behaviors towardsteaching Numerical Analysis in the form of distance education. The research was carried out with a group of students studyingat the Faculty of Engineering in a private university in Northern Cyprus during the 2019-2020 academic year. In the research,an interview form was applied to get students’ opinions about distance education and to understand whether it is appropriate to give a numerical analysis course over distance education or not. At the end of the research, students’ positive and negative views about distance education emerged. Most of the students argued the idea that distance education platform is not able to provide education as effectively as the traditional classroom environment. It is supported that it is more accurate to give the form of traditional education because of the application of a Numerical Analysis course is challenging
