Am I ready for F2F Class?
Who's excited here on face to face class? Do you feel nervous that after 4 years of lockdown and restrictions you can now see your Alma mater again? For some students they are really excited to see their school again, they want to see their classmate faces and have a class in real classroom. It's been almost 4 years since the pandemic started that turns everything down, from business to education everything went shutdown. In sector of education, the government doesn't have a choice but to continue classes via online, lots of students complain since the life is so hard that they can't afford to buy laptops, other gadgets and install internet connection.
As a student like me, I really found online class as a hardship for us students, it's difficult to study online specially if the subject needs practical and laboratory experiments. In my experience it's not easy to study online, the things I've encountered are slow internet connection, sometimes I can't understand the topic since there's only PowerPoint present in the meeting then the teacher will discuss it. It's still reliable that the topic is explained in person since it's easy to understand. Lots of students lose their interest to study, some are just relying on Google about their answers including me, sometimes it's boring to listen to the teachers due to non interactive environment.
Another hindrance of me why I can't focus on my study is, I'm the one moving inside the house. My class starts at 8 AM then im gonna wake up at 7 AM and prepare everything but it's not enough for me to prepare since I'm the one cooking our food. My solution is i let my speaker open then cook while listening to the discussion, sometimes I'm out of discussion that's why i'm trying to cope up since there are recitations. Gladly, I have classmates which ready to help me in times of recitation in our group everyone is giving answers so that we can recite.
It's a good thing on our class since everyone is helping and not pulling down. But now everything might change. The government and our institution allowed university to conduct face to face class and our school passed the requirements. Our professor already announced that there would be face to face class but only limited. Only allows those who had laboratory exercises. The most priority are those graduating which needs to do some practical. I'm on second year of college and there are discussion if our year will be allowed to conduct in face to face class.
If you will ask me if I'm ready then my answer is not sure, if face to face class will conduct then it's gonna be a new environment for students, we've been into online class and everything will change if we are already inside a real classroom. I don't know if I can carry to understand since I'm not listening in online class. Still it's a great news for everyone, conducting face to face class indicates that everything was turning in normal slowly but surely. I agree that students won't understand everything online but my worries is our adaptability in New environment. Some students are happy since ther would be provisions give to them by their parents, it's their time to have some money again. Are you happy that face to face is already allowed?
We are slowly going back to normal but not the normal 2 years ago. We still have to be careful. God bless.
