CONTENTS 1 DESIGN PROBLEM 2 RESEARCH APPROACH 3 KEY INSIGHTS 4 CONCLUSION 5 APPENDIX DESIGN PROBLEM Coronaviruses are viruses that cause respiratory infections. COVID-19 is the disease caused by a new coronavirus. It was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan City in China. As the disease became viral and quickly spread around the world, schools and universities have been closed, abruptly offering online courses instead. Many students have been struggling to adapt to the new change leading them to procrastinate more often and not attending online classes. My aim of this research project is to look into the problem in depth and find out how we can change this to help students to increase their discipline and achieve their goals during the pandemic. RESEARCH APPROACH For my research methods, INTERVIEWS I’ve used: Research triangulation method - Contextual observation - Questionnaires - Interviews OBSERVATION QUESTIONNAIRES CONTEXTUAL OBSERVATION What I’ve observed from students when they are studying Despite not being able to meet up with anyone I also found out that students talk a lot more to study due to the pandemic, I’ve had multiple about irrelevant topics during their studies, group calls to have study sessions together. whereas before quarantine, we would stay One difference I’ve noticed from studying silent most of the time to focus on work. online and studying in real life is that students I believe this is because we are not used to the procrastinate more easily as there are more new environment, studying while video calling. distractions in their room. 25 QUESTIONNAIRE Respondents DEMOGRAPHICS Foundation 20-21 1 participant 1 participant 16-17 2 participants Secondary student 1 participants 1st year student 18-19 23 participants 22 participants 5 DESIGN COMPUTING STUDENTS 22 out of 25 students had their sleep schedule changed due to the outbreak 25 out of 25 students felt that the pandemic has affected their study 4 ENGINEERING STUDENTS motivations in a negative way Students described their study motivations as “getting frustrated” “more procrastination” 2 COMPUTER SCIENCE “hard to study online” “school feels optional” STUDENTS “less motivation” Only 1 out of 25 students do their studies at the beginning of the day 2 COMMERCE STUDENTS 5 out of 25 students procrastinate when they get stuck in a challenge during their studies 1 LAW STUDENT Only 6 out of 25 students prefer to work individually 14 out of 25 students do not enjoy 1 MEDICINE STUDENT reading in their spare time Emma WANG Meet Our Fear of missing out with friends • My friends voice call late at night.

  • Roots and Routes 188
    Fendler / Roots and Routes 188 ROOTS AND ROUTES Hip-Hop from South Korea Ute Fendler University of Bayreuth [email protected] Abstract With the growing success of hip-hop in South Korea, the discussions about the authenticity of this genre increase and create cleavages between the mainstream and the underground rappers. The paper intends to analyze three examples of the contemporary music scene that are representative of different positions. Taking Simon Frith’s work on popular music as a means to construct identity, the paper suggests questioning the concept of authenticity (“roots”) and proposes instead conceiving hip-hop in South Korea as a movement at the crossroads (“routes”) of various influences and practices. Keywords Authenticity, Identity, Music videos, Performance, R&B, Rap About the Author Ute Fendler is chair of romance cultural and comparative cultural studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany). Her research interests include intermedial and intercultural phenomenon, popular culture, migration, iconographies, music video, and performance. Kritika Kultura 29 (2017): –213 © Ateneo de Manila University <http://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/kk/> Fendler / Roots and Routes 189 In the ongoing process of reaching out to global markets, pop music in South Korea undergoes fast changes, mainly under the influence of US-American and Western European markets, as literature on K-pop highlights (Choi and Maliangkay). John Lie dealt with the question of K-pop as music positioned between different influences: K-pop is symptomatic of the cultural transformation of South Korea: at once the almost complete repudiation of traditional cultures—both Confucian and folk—and the repeated rhetorical stress on the continuities between the past and the present: the nearly empty signifier that is South Korean cultural-national identity.

  • K-Pop – What’S in a Name?
    K-pop – What’s in a Name? ACADEMIC ARTICLE: ROUNDTABLE Ed. Dr. Candace Epps-Robertson Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (United States) Ed. Katie Hulme Physicist by day, (amateur) poet by night (United States) Introduction What is a “Roundtable”? A rhizome consists of a multitude of interconnected nodes — and while those nodes might have more that connects than divides them, individual nodes don’t always agree. Learning means being in conversation with one another. Our perspectives are often shaped by our immediate networks and personal experiences, and it never hurts to take a step back and invite some voices to the table — especially those we might not otherwise hear, and those that bring wisdom, experience, and specialized knowledge into the conversation. “ ” 양극화 세상에서 가장 추한 꽃 “Polarization, the ugliest flower in the world” (Agust D, 2020) We have all witnessed heated and emotionally charged debates ignited by particular topics, fueled by the anonymity and speed afforded by social media. Discussions can quickly become polarized, and when polarization begins to play, discourse often begins to falter. Slowing down, taking time to pause, engaging with the ideas of others, and listening are essential to growth and creating new knowledge. The most famous roundtable is probably that of the legendary King Arthur, who insisted that his knights sit at a roundtable because such a table has no head — thus no designated leader. The purpose of a roundtable is to invite individuals into a space where the notion of “us” and “them” is temporarily dispelled, and each voice is given an equal platform to articulate itself.
