I know some friends who studied remotely in China this semester struggled to keep up with classes,assignments, and school events. One of them even decided to pause study for a year due to academic difficulties. As an international student, I already struggled in academics because English is not my native language. I worried whether I will be finish the courseworks on time next semester. Would you give me some advice as to how I can learn best remotely?
I’m sorry your friends had such difficulty! It is not easy to be an international student. And the time difference even makes things harder but you can do it. You should always let your professors know if you’re unable to submit your assignments on time. You should also feel free to set up Zoom meetings with them. Most American professors are very flexible, and they may not be aware until you tell them how challenging it is to take a course remotely from China. Also, if you need to use library resources and are having difficulty accessing materials, please contact the library! My library friends will do their best to help. This is the hardest part: whenever you can, get as much rest as possible. It sounds undoable but it is possible. Best of luck!
