My last MBA class.
The journey has not been easy. We have attended online classes for the entire semester.
Everything has been conducted via virtual meetings—discussions, classes, assignments, and more.
My last in-person class was in February 2020, just before the Movement Control Order (MCO) was announced on March 18, 2020.
I have missed the face-to-face interactions with lecturers and peers, visiting the library, engaging in discussions and debates, and so much more. I also miss waking up early to drive to university, hanging out with friends after class, brainstorming, and sharing ideas in person.
The COVID-19 pandemic has opened our eyes to the potential of online learning, but it has also shown us that this mode of learning is not sustainable in the long term. It is clear that we still need in-person classes, though it would be beneficial to incorporate one or two online sessions as part of the curriculum. The way we absorb knowledge and maintain focus is noticeably different in a virtual setting. Sitting in front of a laptop all day can be exhausting.
I will miss this journey. The MBA program has taught me invaluable lessons about my thinking, actions, decision-making, and much more. The knowledge I gained has been truly meaningful.
