Along with the warm weather, a summer came to Sungkyunkwan University's Humanities and Social Sciences Campus. Although the situation continues to be unfortunate around the world due to the COVID-19, all members of the business school are doing their best to ensure that the first semester of the 2020 school year is going smoothly while putting safety first. I hope that the COVID-19 will be over soon, so that all business school members can meet in good health on campus.
Today, I met with Han Ju Eun, a business student who is watching an online lecture because of the postponement of the opening of the class due to COVID-19. Our university has decided to conduct online lectures for the health and safety of all students until the end of COVID-19. It was unfamiliar at first but gradually settled down, and the first semester has already passed. Let's hear how our students are spending their time with COVID-19.
Q. Nice to meet you. Please introduce yourself.
Hello! I am Han Ju Eun, Department of Business Administration Class of 17.^^
Q. All lectures are conducted online, what are the merits and demerits of taking online lectures?
I think the biggest advantage of online lectures is that you can watch them until you understand them! Offline lectures are lively and it’s much better to interact with professors and students, but in online lectures, you can listen to the parts I don't know 100 times. And it has the advantage of being able to move on quickly to what you already know or understand.
In addition, the flexibility to take classes whenever possible is also an advantage. (Except for real-time classes) I think I can take classes in the best condition through online lectures because there can be situations where I'm not suitable for studying, such as having an emergency or getting tired!
However, sometimes there’s an acoustic problem or a technical problem. But most of the problems seem to be fixed quickly, so l’ve never felt very uncomfortable. (except for server down on Sunday^^ I almost had a heart attack…). Still, I use online lectures well because school keeps managing servers and uploading system!
Q. Do you have any online lectures you remember?
The most memorable online lecture is a real-time streaming lecture!
The professor played with words in real time, and I laughed out loud at the café alone. If it was a normal class, I would laugh lightly, but am I the only one who finds it more interesting because I'm online? In addition, interacting with students and professors through real-time lectures was interesting and fun! The friends watching through the video were new, too! I think there was a little fun in class because of my classmates who used to turn on the microphone sometimes.
Q. In the case of the team project, how did you proceed with the assignment?
The professors in my class have actively used online lecture tools! In the case of real-time classes using ZOOM, the large class was able to have a small group of four people for real-time meetings! In other classes, each group has a meeting on the topic of discussion before the real-time class, and during the class, the representative present it during the class. Most of the classes were organized neatly, so there was no difficult with the team project!
Q. What do you want to do after COVID-19?
It’s getting hot all of a sudden(T.T) If COVID-19 ends as soon as possible, I would like to go swimming with my friends on a hot day. I wanted to enjoy my last school life as a graduating senior, but I couldn't. Therefore, In the second semester, I hope you can face many school events that you couldn't do in the first semester!
Q. Lastly, please say a word to all members of the business school who is overcoming COVID-19.
Our wonderful SKK business members, I’m sure you’re all enjoying your life own places even in the COVID19 situation! Let’s be a little more careful and cheer up! We are a wonderful SKK business member who has overcome this adversity. I’ll see you on campus in the second semester with a lot of fun after overcoming the tough situation^_^
