Online Class Notes (Tibo)

Our life is back to normal so some work and study.
I have been studying for 6 months already.
I am so confused with the MBA lessons. It is difficult to me.

Some courses are complicated , it is English version / they are taught in English.

The courses are very technical such as corporate finance.
In this course at first the teacher taught us in English and the students suggested to do it in Chinese because we don’t have foreign students in our class so it made sense for the teacher to use Chinese but the school requires the teacher to teach in English so maybe our teachers are afraid to take risks so they now they teach in English.

Most of the students do not understand either.

before the pandemic we had classes offline but in the recent two months we had the classes online because of the lockdown.

Now in most places you don’t need to quarantine anymore

you need to quarantine for 7 days at home

the policies all the time are all changed -> the policies are changing all the time.

this is the most problem -> this is the biggest problem/ the main problem
all the cities are opened to every flight -> most countries already opened up / for most countries international travel has already resumed.

Our communities is very safe. We followed the policies to lockdown for 2 months.

Fortunately we can allow to go out 4 h/day -> we were allowed to go out 4h / d / the government allowed us to go out 4h/d.

we had to do group orders during the lockdown

The lockdown affected our work.
It directly affected our work as well.

the government was focused on pandemic control and the economy suffered.

it is better to communicate in person / face to face.

Some friends of mine were planing the immigration after 10 years but they sped up the immigration process during the lockdown because they were disappointed with the lockdown.
I think it is not the SH’s government order but the central government which required SH to do that.

During the lockdown our budget was reduced.
The pandemic is just a tricky/political point. In October there is an election for the president.
We never say a leader is wrong we just change the way we explain something.

Most companies are laying off as well. The stock price is going down. Work is affected, everything is affected.

I planned to change my job but I don’t want to quit during the pandemic. Most companies are not very stable./ I planned to change my job but I will now wait for the economic to get better

China was in a recession during the lockdown.
They decided to move out to Singapore or other cities because of the lockdown.
China lost a lot of opportunities to boost our economy.
It directly affects the SH economic development.

A lot of companies are afraid of the policies. It directly affected their normal operations.

all the cities are controlled by the central government.
No city can overcome this issue. / they all have to obey their orders.

I think it is not for us to worry about we lockdown in the future. We worry about the next bad thing to happen in China.
