My First F2F Class
Since 2018 when the suspension of classes been declared due to widespread of COVID-19. Lots of institutions adjusted and moved online including education. Lots of arguments happened regarding the implementation of online class due to financial problems but it doesn't stop the education to continue. In my experience it's not easy to attend online class everyday due to different factors like internet connection, affordability of gadgets, time, etc. i can't focus a lot on my studies since I have lots to do inside the house but gratefully I managed to pass the subject and moved to second year, as of now we are on 2nd year third semester and seems like everything turns slowly to normal.
Face to face class is allowed but limited only, protocol should be lifted and students are required to have waiver as a proof that the guardian or parents allowed he student to attend. Though it's questionable why elementary, high-school and senior highschool are allowed to conduct a face to face but for college students we are so limited and allowed only if there's a laboratory activities. Maybe the universities are still on process of fixing everything including permissions. Anyways, my first face to face class happened last Monday during our motor control subject. We are required to attend since our previous face to face class, our scheduled got canceled due to emergency meeting and that's the time I decide to go in market market and watch Dr. Strange.
If you are going to TUP, students are required to wear a shirt in any color and maong pants since the guard won't allow you to enter. I brought my waiver, ID and vaccination card and gladly I entered at the campus, though i have no pictures what our campus look like but it was surrounded with a lot of trees, it's the only university in metropolitan Manila that look like a forest. The main reason why there are lots of trees around is, the campus is located near the airport. The vibration came from the engine of planes are being absorbed by those trees and reduce the sound vibration coming down to the ground. It's It's beautiful once you enter at TUP, outside the campus you can see that it's so small but once your inside then you'll be surprised to see such massive places.
I encountered my classmates at the corridor also waiting for our professor to come, we are so happy to see each other in person. After a while our professor came and we greet him a good morning, we went inside on of laboratory room and seen a lot of machineries in electrical activities. I saw familiar set ups that we only saw on our simulations. We are worried since we are only few inside the room and our professor might scold us. Hopefully he's not mad since there are lots of beautiful ladies inside the room which his weakness.
He draw the diagram on the board that we need to follow and do it on the board. Our professor made the circuit on the board and connect it on power supply and it works, we are amazed on what we see. We need to do it also, the activity must be done indivudual but we do it in a group and helped each other to put those connecting wires and follow the diagram. In the end we managed to finished the circuit board and make it work. It's really scary to run the board since in one snap the whole circuit might explode, just kidding the circuit is protected by different insulation that's why there might an accident happen but it's minimal like sparks.
One time there's a spark happened, hopefully I saw it and I replaced the wire connected on power supply. I'm so haggard on that photo since we do the activity for an hour and we are on trial and error. Overall, I enjoyed the feeling of attending at f2f class since I met my classmates which I only saw online and we have a bonding. After the class we went to SM Bicutan to hang out, we first order a perfume at penshoppee then went at arcade place and play diffent games then went to food stalls to order foods. Its such a great experience and there's another f2f class this incoming Friday.
Face to face talaga ang idealk setting ng mga ganiyang activities.. kasi pano mo naman magagawa yan pag sa online diba. Hopefully mag fully open na f2f para naman mabuhay nadin mga tricycle driver dito samin.
