MAI-SJTU Student: “Distance Learning Is Very Convenient”
First-year student of the joint master's program of Moscow Aviation Institute and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) Alexey Openkin went to study in China in September 2019. The first semester of the first year passed in the normal mode, but then not only the educational process, but the life of the MAI student turned upside down. In China, compulsory quarantine was announced in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection, and the SJTU transferred the training to a remote format. Alex was completely isolated away from home. We learned from him how distance learning is organized at the SJTU, why he did not return to Russia, and how his life changed during the quarantine.
