F2F Class Notes (Tibo) (Rose)

discussed the impact of the pandemic on the perceived value of degrees and the gambler’s fallacy

Students will worry about their effectiveness in online learning especially if they cannot control themselves if they are easy to procrastinate but some of the reasons they might worry about their degree is that some companies might negate what they have done at school.
in order to solve that we need to work on both the students and the schools.

For universities they need to work on provide equipments and train the teachers to give online classes and they shouldnt lower the gate for the students so that they have the same standards compared to the pre-coronavirus time.

After the whole semester the test should also be very strict and the University shouldn’t lower the test standard.
In China about 3 or 4 months each years there is the test for post graduate admission.

before this coronavirus time it took place offline but this year every university requires students to have interview online and have a written test in order to make sure that their students are not cheating they will ask students to put cameras in every corner and it will prevent cheating.

This coronavirus has pushed our society to develop especially about online teaching and learning and the credibility.

we shouldn’t depend on merely human characters, there should be laws and regulations.

as long as we are aware we will be influenced by it so sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad ways but in the end it will get even.
