So far, all my classes have been going well considering the new mostly-online class schedule. I have enjoyed the flexibility which has accompanied this year’s online-format. Deadlines are known ahead of time and I can fit my personal and work schedule to my class schedule, particularly the large workload it encompasses this semester. I have found it challenging on some days to stay involved and motivated with my classes though. Not having the personal and social aspect to my classes has left me desiring the environment which we all experience when actually in the classroom; to me it makes working with my peers and engaging with them easier and more effective than the online-format. Not to mention the online format does not allow for easy connection (on a social basis) with the professors, especially for someone new to UNM like I am with no prior acquaintances with the teaching staff. I do look forward to the day where classes can return to a more on-campus based format. But for now, I will keep pushing and working my way through this semester. Does anyone have suggestions on how they’ve found a way to engage better and more personally with their peers and professors during this semester’s online-format? I’d love to increase that side of my academic experience this semester.
