Written by Maida Aizaz Freshman at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology I’ve only had one semester at (online) university, but I have come to realise: the ‘u’ in ‘university’ stands for ‘unending’.
Unending work and assignments, of course – but also unending yearning for things to get better (and often, for the assignments, exams and semester itself to end). Regardless of the field in question, there are certain things all students experience, going from the four walls of our school environment into the unknown. Many courses, for one, are do not start from scratch, and assume an amount of background knowledge only a few possess. Not to mention that this year, everything is online. As a result, not only is social interaction challenging, but from an academic perspective, it’s rather cumbersome getting in touch with the professors and teaching assistants for a question that would take a lot less effort being answered had it been in person. So – now that the reminder is out of the way, what do we do?
