Coronavirus: University teaching to move online from 9 December

[email protected]_84 December 4, 2020

Universities in Northern Ireland are to move all teaching online by 9 December to allow students to return home for Christmas.

Students have also been advised to take a Covid-19 test before they return to their family home.

Rapid
testing is being offered to students
at Queen’s and Ulster Universities.

The Christmas guidance for students in Northern Ireland was published by the executive on Friday.

Many students were already learning remotely as many degree courses were being taught online, although thousands remain on campus.

Face-to-face teaching has continued in some subjects where it is regarded as necessary.

A small number of those courses may be able to continue to hold classes on campus after 9 December.

But students have been told that if they remain on campus after 9 December they may be in a situation where they have to self-isolate over Christmas.

Behind screens and in hospitals, South Korea students sit college exam amid coronavirus

[email protected]_84 December 3, 2020

By Hyonhee Shin, Soohyun Mah

SEOUL (Reuters) – Nearly half a million South Korean students took university entrance exams on Thursday, with COVID-19 students sitting in hospital and others separated by transparent screens.

South Korea is battling a third wave of coronavirus infections and authorities have taken strict steps to ensure all students can safely take the test, deemed a life-defining event for high school seniors to win a degree that could help land a good job.

Police and school officials guarded some 31,000 test venues across the country, which in normal years are usually filled with praying parents and cheering squads distributing hot drinks and snacks.

“It’s my second test, and I just wanted to get it done despite the risks of contracting the coronavirus. That’s all I was thinking about coming here,” Jeon Young-jin, 19, told Reuters in front of a test venue in Seoul.

For fall semester, in-person classes will not take place after Thanksgiving break. Colleges across the state are taking the precaution as travel for Thanksgiving can increase the spread of the virus. The university already moved Spring Break from late March to April.

Trustees approved adjusting housing and dining rates to reflect the change, which would reduce time in residence halls by about four weeks.

Kent State will also step up coronavirus testing as part of its spring semester plan. The semester will begin as normal, and there

Spring semester classes will remain virtual at Huston-Tillotson University due to coronavirus pandemic

[email protected]_84 December 1, 2020

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Citing ongoing health concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic, classes for the upcoming spring semester will remain virtual for students at Huston-Tillotston University in Austin.

The university’s president and CEO, Colette Pierce Burnette, made that announcement Monday in a letter sent to the school community. She wrote that the university based its decision on scientific advice about the expected surge in cases and deaths as well as the anticipated release of a vaccine for the general public next year.

“The safety and health of the entire campus community remain paramount as our top priority,” Pierce Brunette wrote. “Please understand that the decision to be fully online was by no means an easy one. Unfortunately, the key factors leading to our decision for the fall term are still prevalent, and in some cases, even more daunting. Continuing with fully online teaching and learning is the best decision for our

Coronavirus: Stagger university students’ return in new year to avoid spikes, Labour says

[email protected]_84 December 1, 2020

The party is calling for those on placements – or whose face-to-face teaching is essential – to come back first in the new year.

Universities faced coronavirus outbreaks this term after welcoming students back for the start of the academic year, with hundreds of students testing positive within the first weeks of term.

Labour has said the government needs to “urgently” address the January return to avoid “spikes in infection rates of the kind seen in September”.

However, guidance has not yet been published for going back next year.

“The government have said nothing about the return of students to universities in January,” Labour’s Emma Hardy said in a letter to universities minister Michelle Donelan.

“This urgently needs to be addressed to ensure the movement of almost two million students across the UK does not lead to spikes in infection rates of the kind seen in September.”

Ohio State football’s coronavirus caution came full circle to this week of waiting: College football Monday Madness

[email protected]_84 November 30, 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football remains on indefinite pause as it continues to test for additional coronavirus cases in its program.

If the Buckeyes play Saturday at Michigan State, they will do so without coach Ryan Day, who has tested positive for the virus. If they play The Game against Michigan on Dec. 12, they expect to do so without multiple players who have also tested positive.

Ohio State planned to conduct more tests Sunday. Those results play into the most important statistic of the Buckeyes’ season — their COVID-19 test positivity rate. As long as additional players keep testing positive, the chances of playing Saturday keep diminishing.

As I have written before, this is the scenario that spawned the concept of the Monday Madness column. After the Big Ten canceled its fall season, this weekly check-in was supposed to provide perspective on the futility of other conferences trying

What is Ohio State football’s point spread at Michigan State despite coronavirus cases? College betting lines

[email protected]_84 November 29, 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football is again a big favorite in a Big Ten Conference road game on Saturday.

The Buckeyes, though, do not yet know if they will even make the trip to Michigan State on Saturday.

Circa Sports made Ohio State a 24-point favorite in Sunday’s opening betting line.

Ohio State was favored by 28 points at Illinois even after initial reports of coronavirus cases within the Buckeye program. That game was canceled Friday night after the number of cases increased.

Ohio State has paused all football operations as it awaits further test results to determine the extent of the outbreak. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day, who has tested positive and is in isolation, said OSU could play as long as it has a practice on Thursday and a walk-through on Friday.

Oddsmakers have not shied away from other pandemic-affected games. Northwestern opened as a 10-point favorite at

University refers 150 students to conduct office for failing to comply with coronavirus testing, safety requirements

[email protected]_84 November 27, 2020

The University of Maryland in College Park referred about 150 students to its conduct office for failing to comply with coronavirus testing requirements, a school spokeswoman said this week.

Students and employees who visit the campus for classes, on-campus jobs or other activities are required to complete daily symptom checks and confirm they have tested negative for the coronavirus. But officials discovered dozens were noncompliant this fall.

The university generates reports of students who visit campus and have not submitted coronavirus test results from off-campus clinics or do not have upcoming testing appointments on campus, said Katie Lawson, a spokeswoman for the campus. The school also uses its building locking system and Wi-Fi network to monitor who visits campus and if visitors have completed health screenings, according to U-Md.’s data policy.
