My experiences this year have been fairly good. The start of classes was similar to last year - online education, which is rather monotonous and boring, The ray of light though was the announcement that we would go back to face-to-face teaching from November. This is much better and makes it easier to understand the different topics. Now we are back at school, I hope this will be a good year.
I am now following technical courses and have had to study additional subjects such as accountancy. This was quite problematic as lessons are still online and the teacher was often absent. I have tried to overcome these problems though and I managed to get a good mark overall this term.
