It was bumpy, not surprisingly.
All of my students nodded vigorously last week when I said they would have to read all of the instructions carefully.
But the students who were careless and unprepared before are still careless and unprepared now.
There is one advantage–in my intro to lit class, we’re hearing from people who have never spoken in class before, which is awesome.
Some students say they miss class, of course. Some have said they like the screen capture video I made because they got to hear my voice.
One student wrote to me this morning just to say he missed coming to class because it was an oasis for him, a good distraction from the rest of life.
Everyone’s favorite thing so far? A video of one of their TAs fighting a plastic spoon.
