One of my students in class last night: "I never thought I& #39;d say this, but I miss being in a classroom so much." 1/n
Her comment prompted an interesting discussion. Everyone agreed that they much preferred being in class as opposed to online teaching. A lot of their reasons focused on physical chemistry in the classroom, 2/n
while some students also mentioned that there are no distractions in the class itself (when it comes to screens in class, I& #39;m a total authoritarian and don& #39;t allow them; obviously, that& #39;s no longer the case.)
I didn& #39;t say anything while they talked, just listened. But it was all the reasons we as faculty often oppose online education. Which, to be honest, was gratifying to hear. 3/n
