Not like in developed countries, our local undergraduates are facing many difficulties and challenges with the unexpected hit when continuing their academics. We must greatly appreciate continuous efforts of these awardees hard work in completing their university studies during this challenging period. Our effort to overcome this challenge of providing an online methodology for students who are being facilitated with theoretical as well as practical training was greatly excelled by these students. Hence, undoubtedly the dedication of these students is a precedent not only for university students but also for those who regret thinking that COVID 19 is a challenge. We enabled these students as a result of the adoption of a new teaching methodology in relation to the subject concurrent assignment for the completion of practical training in the field of sports public relations and communication in relation to this academic year.
