The implementation or conduct of online classes has been a recent hot issue and topic among students and professors in certain universities and colleges affected by the novel corona virus or Covid-19 pandemic. However, as a college student and freshmen of one of the most prestigious university, I am one of a few student who had raised my concerns and opinions on the imppementation of the said topic. Wherein, Firstly , I am not infavor on the said implementation of this online classes in such universities being affected by this deadly virus. I am one of a student who live in a rural area- far away from the city with poor and most of the time there is no internet connection at all here in our communities if they will shift to online classes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
We are all in a dilemna right now, however, we should always be positive and look at the brighter side of evey situation. We should always be more of the advantage of online classes rather than ranting and posting negative views and sarcastic comments on social medias and other online flatforms. We should consider Classes Online as an alternative way and mode of delivering lessons and other activities for us 'students' to compensate or comply for the class suspension amid this corona virus outbreak. Considering the advantages of this said implemantation for us to cope up with the lessons that covers the midterm and final coverage of the second semester of this academic school year that we've misses but there are several hindrance and obstacle to consider as well. The difficulties to secure a stable data connection in downloading large files, the accessibility of internet connection and presence of gadgets as well because not all students can afford to buy load or data connection in the midst of crisis for them to comply - is one of a major problem and concern of several university students who live in a mountainuos and far-flung areas.
We are already suffering from financial crisis and consideration should also apply to all students according to their demands and needs on the implementation of this said Online classes. Some of us 'students' belongs to a family that are indigent and not priveledge when it comes to internet access and online class can add again burden for our every day expenses, and safety as well. The effectivity of online classes is not a good way for us to learn effectively, wherein, proffesors will just give requirements and activities without supplementary lectures and several student mainly depends on the professor as a primary provider of information and knowledge to students in the teaching and learning process with supplementary lectures and activities for them to understand the lesson well and learn effectively.
However, This could be a measure of being humane to others especially to our classmates who could hardly cope up with the requirements and assignments given online by helping them to comply and providing them the best and possible alternative to finish the said requirements online. Accomplishing those homework would already be a justification of the midterm and final quizzes and other classroom activities without going back again to school to finish and end the semester of this school year amid the corona virus pandemic outbreak. This would be the best way of maximazing the learning oppurtunities while being quarantined at home. As a prospective and future teacher, it also enable us to enhance our skills and capabilities to be more productive through the use of technology in facilitating our learning. Lastly, this is the best oppurtunity for us to continue learning and making our time fruitful, meaningful and productive instead of being idle and doing nothing on the midst of this crisis.
