Dear New College Student: thoughts from a professor

[ripcord]

11. I went back and finished college during the pandemic because I was bored sitting at home

I noticed it is still just as hard for younger students to make 8am classes, which I enjoyed. My business law class had a requirement for lots of classroom participation but since none of the other students were fully awake it turned into my professor and I discussing and arguing about the material, btw I enjoyed this class more than any other. There was also a good bit of discussion about giving them leeway because the online classes were harder to follow, I actually found them easier, probably because I am bad at taking notes. My professors had me helping some of these students, which was fine because it imprinted the material on me even further, but many times they would have an excuse as to why they couldn't make the tutoring session. It might be because I am older and more used to organizing my time but I didn't how they could always be behind, it could also have been that I was attending because I wanted to and had no pressure as to grades although I did finish with a 3.58 gpa.
