COVID-19 has taken the world by a storm, affecting nearly everybody in some way. Here in South Dakota we haven’t been exempt from this. Even though our infection statistics are low compared to other places, our precautions reflect steps that have been taken in these high risk areas.
One of these precautions is transition from on-campus class to the online environment. This new development is less than ideal, albeit necessary. One of the great things about my college is the emphasis on hands-on learning and real world application. As one can imagine, it places a heavy burden on instructors to carry this type of learning online, and they have been doing everything in their power to continue providing worthy education.
As soon as we started online classes, it was a difficult adjustment. Personally, I enjoy going to class on campus and socializing with friends and instructors. When that aspect of school was taken away, it was kind of hard to accept it. However, now that classes have progressed awhile, myself and other students are getting used to it and the laborious challenge of finishing the semester online seems a little less daunting.
