Honam University Implements Thorough Quarantine Measures for the Start of the Second Semester 'Full Preparedness'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Honam University (President Park Sangcheol) is implementing thorough quarantine measures with the start of the second semester.

On the 1st, Honam University announced that to prevent COVID-19, it is making every effort in quarantine by introducing a smart access control system at the entrances of all campus buildings and installing contactless facial recognition fever detection cameras.

President Park Sangcheol personally inspected the contactless facial recognition fever detection cameras installed in each building on the day online classes began.

In particular, assuming the COVID-19 situation remains stable, for the limited face-to-face classes scheduled to begin on the 14th, students attending in-person classes are required to ▲ fill out a health questionnaire on the electronic attendance program before coming to campus each day ▲ verify a QR code at each building entrance and undergo a fever check in front of the contactless facial recognition fever detection camera before entering the classroom.

By department, measures include ▲ seating arrangements in accordance with social distancing ▲ hand sanitizer placed at the entrance of every classroom ▲ windows opened frequently for ventilation ▲ and after class, students will be guided to go home immediately to reduce unnecessary contact.

Meanwhile, as the COVID-19 resurgence continues to pose a crisis, Honam University has decided to operate the academic schedule flexibly according to the COVID-19 situation, with the principle of ‘blended classes’ combining online and face-to-face classes for the second semester.

For two weeks until the 11th, all departments will conduct online non-face-to-face classes, and assuming the COVID-19 situation remains stable, from the 14th, practical and some theoretical courses will hold limited face-to-face classes with about 20 students per class, restricted by each college.

Examinations will also change. Midterm exams will be omitted, and final exams will be conducted primarily face-to-face, but at the professor’s discretion, non-face-to-face exams, assignments, or practical tests may be substituted.
