Do you feel that you are effectively learning from your work in class?

“I feel that I am having an effective learning experience in my classes even with [them] being distance learning. I still have lectures, reading material and coursework. A few disadvantages I have is that for my Drama class I do not have the full extent of experience [as] I would normally. I have not had as much group work since breakout rooms can only go to a certain extent. I prefer doing school at home since I am more reliant on myself to learn the information [from teachers]; [learning from home] helps me both learn and retain the information.”

“Honestly, I do feel like I am effectively learning from my work in class. Since mostly everything is online, the teachers don’t have time to squeeze in unnecessary information. But also, a big part of learning is taking notes and studying them because even if there is some information you don’t need, your notes will show you what to really learn.”

“Yes, I am effectively learning from some of my work in online class during these times. But on the other hand, I might forget [things because] I’m in a rush [with] deadlines. When I do my school work, I somehow end up [browsing through] Google. Google has its recommendations and questions [about] things I didn’t even know before, and I get more engaged knowing more about it. I would say it’s a 50/50.”

“I think it really depends on the class. For some classes, like some of the [Visual and Performing Arts] classes, I don’t think I am learning as much as I could in person because not everyone has the right materials at home. However, with my other classes such as English, I feel like I personally am learning at a similar level to how I was in person.”
