Online education is only equal because most of us are studying at home, but not equal when it comes to others being on campus and some at home. One good thing is that the grading system has changed and allowed many students to pass. Usually, an A starts with 90%, but some classes made it easy for everyone to pass with A of 80%. All of us has been impacted by the virus, but I think there should be a hardship clause for student impacted by severe Covid for them to be in the track and not to fail classes. Concerning those who are only quarantine and feeling well, they are having the same opportunity as any other student without Covid. One thing is that the clause should explain well the students and put a condition that will only apply to a student affected. 

When classes started, the first two weeks were too tiring and I lost my motivation. I felt like not studying anymore, but then I remember not to waste money. Most of my class assignments are due at 11:59 PM. I have this one class that you have to turn in everything at 8:00 AM. I noticed that whenever I was turning in my assignment, it kept on saying late and late then I looked at the time, it says 8:00 AM. I went to read the syllabus and it is written that no late work will be accepted. My friend whom we graduated together was accepted in the UK and she wanted to study here, but view their financial situation she couldn’t. She had no choice but to work so that she can pay her tuition in the UK later. Now working full time and studying in college is the most stressful thing she is having. Sometimes, she may not have the strength to review because she came straight from work, and doing everything on herself made it hard because she has no one to remind her to do her assignment or when it is supposed to be due. 

We must ask ourselves whether we are learning something and can apply it when applying for a job now. It is not just Europe or Asia that are having a face to face classes. Some states in the US are having an in-person class. The UK is having In-person and fully online, but that doesn’t mean that the US will be less competitive in the job market than these continents because they had a face to face classes. On account of Covid, we are all going to have the same level of competition because of what counts is the performance.
