Thanks to emails from admin, you already know what’s coming next: a week to practice social distancing before diving into several interesting, intense, and electric MSMS classrooms. Who knows? Maybe there will even be a Weekly Wednesday Doorprize for some lucky contestant whose name gets “drawn” by my wife’s chihuahua. (I imagine he can be taught to push a random square on the Zoom screen.)
Yes, the content delivery will be different. What was ideal for one of my classrooms can’t be ideal again until some undetermined point in the future. But what we do on Canvas and Zoom will be engaging and worth our time. Email me if you have questions or concerns, or if you just need to vent. I’ll be revising the syllabus, figuring out how to get the most out of what we have to work with, and looking forward to spending time with you in the near future.
Coming from the future now! I feel like this distance learning has been interesting, but not as good in-person classes. I truly miss in-person classes. While I have enjoyed not having to wake up until 10:30, I miss the routine of msms, the people, the experience. I just finished most of my exams, which have been essays and short short tests. It was amazing. I basically freely wrote for an A. It was beautiful, but I did miss exam snacks. I feel like this entire 9weeks has zoomed by. HEHE. get my joke.
