Hoping the practicum1&2 will not be offered or be taken online. Especially on the hands-on courses :)

For the student artist who only had one term scholarship

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe re-think the curriculum of some minor subjects because sometimes tasks are unrealistic. Like maybe opting for individual works rather than groupworks.

I appreciate that SPOT is adapting to thr virtual space like teaching us video editing.

Yet it is still impossible for now, face to face classes and interaction would have more impact on the growth of the students unlike having barrier within each student artists.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a need for a term break to give time for students and their families to focus on themselves and how to survive given the current climate.

# data[].attributes.body
if we can still apply for a scholarship grant, it will be very helpful to us

# data[].attributes.body
At this point in time, we were able to educate ourselves and recognize the current situation that we are in. We also learned how to empathize more and care for each other since this pandemic opened us up to the community even more in an online setting.

# data[].attributes.body
The need to adjust to a new setup gave me an opportunity to take on new things and learn new things.

# data[].attributes.body
Thankful that everyone I know is safe from the virus.

# data[].attributes.body
it's really hard for me and specially for my family when the new recruits got their scholarships cancelled. I really hope CAU/SPOT could help us find another scholarships or opportunity to restore our scholarship.

# data[].attributes.body
There are improvements within doing my crafts, dividing and managing time doing academic, house responsibilities and personal stuff. Growth on having knowledge on politics and worldwide issues we are facing.

# data[].attributes.body
an extended term break would be nice. everything is happening so fast and i think we all deserve a break longer than a week.

# data[].attributes.body
More people are now able to see the incompetency of the government because they get to experience it first hand. More youth are now letting their voice heard in all of the social media platforms. Even hard headed parents were now converted.

# data[].attributes.body
i know myself more. i got to know what works for me and what does not. i also learned that it’s important to take brain breaks because i won’t be able to do my best if i kept on tiring myself out. after doing a lot of work, i think i deserve to rest.

# data[].attributes.body
Its always great that I learn new things in workshops and the workshops are a safe place for me to experiment on my craft without the fear of failing grades

# data[].attributes.body
With a lot of things going on in the world, we tend to forget that our well being should be in the top most part of our priorities. This pandemic and the online class set up disabled us to really acknowledge what we are feeling because we are bombarded with tons of responsibilities, in and out of the school.

# data[].attributes.body
Its been really difficult to manage the my burn out since online learning began. I hope they extend the term break

# data[].attributes.body
Despite doing fairly well in balancing my acads and extra curricular stuff, I do need time away from the screen and from doing modules all together for my mental health. I hope to have maybe a social media detox but it's hard to accomplish since everything I need for class is online and I must be always be updated so that i won't miss anything

# data[].attributes.body
I need to take a break from the internet, I hate the feeling of waking up everyday then going straight to my laptop or my phone to check new announcements or tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I got to know myself more in the past year and I think that is a good thing for my personal growth. I am now a bit more familiar with what I want and what I don't want.

Face-to-face classes... or at least a break from the online classes

Face-to-face classes... or at least a break from the online classes

# data[].attributes.body
I really wish we could return to face-to-face classes. When it comes to f2f, I can be more hand-on in learning stuff, my academic performance won't rely on mere compliance to submit, I get to separate school and home life, and I get to do f2f prods in SPOT.

Though, I do understand that it's not safe yet to do f2f classes due to COVID-19 still being out there. So, maybe some sort of acad break would be helpful while we're still in this online setting. Both a week-long break during this ECQ, and for the succeeding online term/s  a 3-day–ish break wherein sync classes and assignments are suspended/postponed. I think that would really help lots of people who are struggling in their acads, mental health and effects of the pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
I think everyone deserves a longer break, because we should take this time to bond and care for our families. acads should be more flexible when it comes to requirements and deadlines.

# data[].attributes.body
Though times are tough, we should always have time to organise our priorities in life.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite enrolling more units for this term and having more "difficult" profs, I am able to properly manage my time for projects via my Reminders app. Wasn't perfect at managing it since I still submit late in some of my projects/assignments, but at least I am able to get most of my work done. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the term break should be longer because of the situation we're currently in. Also, it is for the students to have that time to breath from the overwhelming academic activities. I know that this is the system we had before but we have to understand that everything changed because of the pandemic and we must also prioritize the well being of the students and the faculty members.

Break from acads

Fixed my sleep schedule

# data[].attributes.body
being stuck at home for a year has given me ample time to self reflect on what I really love to do, and what can I do to improve

# data[].attributes.body
With the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country, (for me personally) I find it harder day by day to think about backlogs and homework knowing that there are many people affected by the virus.

# data[].attributes.body
If there's one thing I learned from being stuck at home for a year, it's the importance of support systems. Without them, I don't think  I would've survived (mentally) through this whole situation going on.

# data[].attributes.body
I bought a small notebook to list down a to do list, this helps me a lot on working with my upcoming task, putting a check sign on the box of checklist makes me feel motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
I miss taft! Online classes are very tiring

# data[].attributes.body
I really really miss my friends and hanging out with them. I also miss SDA and taft and its ambience. I also miss having a quiet space from home. I want everything to be back again :(

# data[].attributes.body
I think our term break consists only a week, making it quite impossible for other Benildeans to equip themselves with the right materials.  It's honestly hard to shift our mindsets to online learning, because one's space has to be changed into an effective workspace.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the importance of waking up early and finishing tasks early as well. With this, I can have more time for myself and for my family, making it less likely for me to experience burnout.

# data[].attributes.body
This time of pandemic is very challenging especially to us, as an artist. We only have this limited resources so we have to think more about how to execute things through art. But I know this challenge will help us grow and learn something new in making art.

# data[].attributes.body
We are all adjusting to online classes even now and it is really difficult with all the issues but one thing that kept me busy from the reality is to create art. It destresses me because I really enjoy what I'm doing even though it is time-consuming and takes a lot of effort. For now, I have more time to create art and learn new mediums.

# data[].attributes.body
this new normal really help me to become more responsible not only in my acads, or scholar but also a responsible person in our home. I always try to manage my course requirements so that i can pass it before it's due and it really helps me to improve my time management and being a responsible student as well

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s still a bit unfair for the students to be expected to function in the full online term as if it’s face to face because I think this online terms should be longer due to uncertain circumstances (example: the extended ecq) where the deadlines are the same and we cannot keep up.

# data[].attributes.body
online class is really hard for all of us, and i can't wait to go back to the normal routine :"<< i'm really hoping that face 2 face will happen this year, coz i wanted to focus to my acads and have my own safe space when i'm studying.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s a big help for us, students, to know that when we feel overwhelmed by our workloads, we have some professors that are always willing to help and guide us and try to lessen the requirements. It’s comforting to know that most of them understand our struggles during this pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
Face to face interaction, face to face prod :(( I really miss seeing my friends and other people. I hope that face to face classes happen this year for I am having a hard time with my studies since I don't think my majors fits the full online modality set- up.

# data[].attributes.body
- I really miss interacting with my friends and other people
- Most times I feel like online interaction is somehow "superficial" and looking at a screen is exhausting

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciate the accountability and sense of looking after each other, I think it is really helpful and important during this time of pandemic. Not feeling that you are alone and knowing you got each other's back!

# data[].attributes.body
I miss the face to face classes/events. I miss the people, I miss the pre-pandemic routines coz its so unpredictable. Life is very predictable these days, well it was fun at first but now nakakaumay na po. Computer all day, cellphone all day.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that face-to-face classes will happen this year. I'm having a hard time maintaining my grades, my motivation and org responsibilities. Sometimes I can't finish the workload and ends up having a mental breakdown. I also think that I'm having burnout which I've never experienced during f2f classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm taking 8 subjects this term, all of which are my program's subjects, I only have one ge subject. I learned to be more organized with my sched and make a priority list. Because accomplishing these subjects while having org activities is no easy task.

Online class is tiring, I can’t imagine that I already spent my two terms via online. I am still hoping that everything is gonna go back to normal. If online class is exhausting, what more the government? There are so many dilemmas nowadays and I don’t think there are concrete solutions provided. Especially this time my father and my two brithers tested positive (Covid19)  I don’t know what to say, I am preoccupied on what is happening.

During these trying times, I learned that no matter the situation is if you want to accomplish something you’ll do it despite of hardships. Yes, it is exhausting to the point that motivation will no longer exist. However, if you see and think the reality of life.. there are so many ways and reasons to move forward.

Being consistent in life especially in turning your words into actions will make our life more easier than before. Following my  everyday routine, doing my school works on time, talking with friends, sleep on time and many more.  Being consistent in small actions will lead you to a great progress.

Online set is more tiring that doing a face to face activity. I hope there will be a huge change with the situation very soon so that we can go back to school physically.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve  learn how important it is to acknowledge how exhausted we are and take a breather once in a while.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone misses this so much especially their friends, relative and love ones. It is really hard but let's just pray and hope that soon we can do the things we want freely.

# data[].attributes.body
Students learned to manage their time and know their priorities because of the pandemic and also despites of what is happening right now there is still hope that everything will be back to normal.

# data[].attributes.body
This is impossible as we are all still in quarantine but hopefully soon, everything's gonna be alright.

# data[].attributes.body
maybe we could try to initiate an online fundraiser? :))

- student artists sharing their talents, etc
- this can also help make sense of what were doing (give purpose), especially that the online mode is not giving us person-to-person interactions.
- or collaborate with other orgs to encourage interactions

# data[].attributes.body
Due to coping up with pandemic, student artists learn to take risk, step up and improve themselves in all manners.

# data[].attributes.body
well organized and plan, each and everyone has their part. (assigned produtcions)

- very insightful
- gives students time to reevaluate and rethink their academic performance
- affirming of students' efforts
