(12,602 posts)Some of my kid's best profs have been adjuncts and their department chair or advisor. We did notice a huge difference when COVID hit and teaching moved to online. That caused many to change their interaction with their students and it hasn't returned to pre-COVID levels yet. A good number of my son's profs are still working from home and have moved their classes to asynchronous teaching without much face-to-face interaction with the students at all. It's not large classes like 300-seat Chem or Engineering - it's fashion merchandising and marketing (so about 20-30 students).
Glad he's graduating!
I will say that I think their high school English teacher went above and beyond in teaching them college-level writing and critical thinking. There are things that she drilled into their heads that has even stuck with me to this day! She has since left teaching high school for a tenure track position in PA.
