After the end of the class, one of our professors said, “See you when I see you.”
That was before the announcement of the class suspension by the Legal Education Board and before Cebu City mayor Labella was pressured into action by netizens.
The University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance was quick to heed the mandates of the government to suspend classes. However, having a faculty of dedicated lawyers who are seldom affected by our “I wish attorney will be absent today” prayers means that even COVID-19 is no excuse for total class suspension.
Regular classes will resume albeit being online.
USC Law Dean Joan Largo has met with the rest of the faculty to discuss and set up the virtual classrooms that are going to be utilized for the next two weeks. We’ve used the same applications before but mostly just for submitting projects.
USC has made use of Google applications, mainly Google classroom, to keep students busy during the suspension.
We don’t know what will happen in the next few weeks because the number of confirmed COVID cases in the Philippines is still rising. While there’s more time to catch up on readings (and TV series), our professors are giving us a reason to close our Netflix tab to get some studying done.
