I have prepared a suitable device before class starts and made sure to tidy up my table so that I can easily take notes during class. I hope to be able to get used to this new way of learning and be able to pursue a bachelor’s degree next year.

I will ensure that I am always mentally and physically ready, including taking care of myself and getting enough rest. I also hope that the government can continue its efforts in providing the facilities and equipment needed to study online to underprivileged students.

I subscribed to a broadband internet plan so that internet access is always stable during classes. I will also use all the online learning facilities provided by Unimas such as e-learning websites to get excellent results.

I have already prepared by making sure the devices I use work well, made sure that I have stable internet connection and telling myself to be disciplined in doing my assignments. I hope to be able to understand what I’ve learned so that I can get excellent results and I can’t wait to meet new friends virtually.
