Anisotropic Learning Amidst the Pandemic by CHEE-MING CHAN

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly caused major disruption to the way our students learn at universities, especially in the early days when Movement Control 1.0 (MCO 1.0) was introduced in the country, resulting in classes being uprooted from on-campus physical face-to-face engagement to virtual interactions. Caught by surprise and amidst the chaos, the University’s students of BNP20903 Soil Mechanics & Foundations (Faculty of Engineering Technology) have shown commendable courage and resilience to stand up against the odds, continued to thrive in their learning of the subject and finally triumphed with good grades for the course. This is THEIR stories, of tears and laughter, laments and mullings, self discoveries and many more. Ultimately, it is about their love for knowledge and the grit to fight on. Let them WOW you.
