Day 391: Changing Universities

The virus has been changing our lives.
Many of us have been forced to or willing to work from home, as I discussed in the past.

The students have the same situations.
But, not like the companies, the universities and colleges have been more focused on face-to-face communications.

The universities like Minerva was a rare case.

But the Economist forecasts that the other traditional universities are tend to change, or need to change their education styles.

Covid-19 will be painful for universities, but also bring change

They might need to change the face-to-face small-group teaching, once thought to be intrinsic.

Personally, I can't think of college life without hanging out with the friends in campus.
But, that could be outdated in the near future..

Word of the day
intrinsic : being an extremely important and basic characteristic of a person or thing

Quote of the day
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
