Reflection
On 1st semester
ALM 2nd years 2020
In March 2020 all universities, Nelson Mandela University included, had to move to
remote-online-emergency teaching and learning due to the COVID19 pandemic.
Lecturers and students received no warning that this would happen and this was
something we did not prepare for. We all had to adapt to the ‘new normal’ and this
required from most of us to show our resilience. Some of us were better equipped to
adapt to this new normal than others. The primary goal of our university for 2020
became to ‘successfully complete the 2020 academic year’.
Based on the above-mentioned, complete your own/personal SWOT analysis in terms
