At the school where I work students are using simulation environments.
You’re asking a question that literally nobody knows the answer. Just wait like everyone else.
I had thought about the collegiate problems. I’ve been thinking about K-12 education. About how schools need to open up perhaps in May or June and go all throughout the summer and fall.
I would like to know when we can get my kid’s belongings out of his dorm. And if we will be compensated.
“What is going to happen to college student?”
Tell college student get job.
Family member is currently doing all classwork online. I am quite sure they will start up as normal in Sept.
It does depend on the state, though.
My son is watching his chem lab experiments online. Obviously he does not get the hands on experience of doing the procedure. There is no discussion of re-do of these session or retaking the class. I think he will just go into the next lab class and do his best despite this. As will everybody else.
I’m teaching an Organic Chemistry lab, out of necessity we are teaching it online. We use demonstrations and ask the students to record data in notebooks and write reports. A poor substitution for hands on. In my opinion we should refund a portion of the student’s tuition.
Post-secondary educations, trades and college, will likely now be forced to adapt and allow more home learning.
What cannot be taught at home will still have to happen in a campus, but it does mean much less time on that campus.
This is a good thing, imo.
colleges should pro rate refunds not just on housing (most are) but for college credits which are now online, which can be had at a fraction of the cost of in person schooling which is what we paid for. The college profs and administrative colleagues are still making their nice 6 figure incomes and don’t want to give back a penny.
I had my kids move out all their gear asap in March while they could and filed for refund, still waiting but both their two colleges billed for tuition in the meantime! grr
No can do. Gotta stay home. Are the institutions of higher learning(sarc intended) going to refund the last semester tuition? Maybe it’s a good time to teach them how to play “paper, rock, scissors”. At least they’re learning something.
they can all become teachers.....
they be learned good grammar.
Which one?
They go to pass fail and don’t learn anything.
My daughter is a third year medical student. The 3rd and 4th year students were pulled out of the hospitals fairly early. They were told to shelter in place and stay healthy so they could act as medical reserve if too many doctors went down. The curriculum was quickly converted to online, even including interviews with standardized “patients” online. They have now been told they will be going back into the hospitals some time over the summer. Right now she is also doing daily followup with mild coronavirus patients online.
Dysfunctional question.
Whatever they make happen, just like always.
No one gave a crap about my travails and sob stories, nor should they have.
“I’ve been thinking about K-12 education.”
In Washington State where I live, there are real problems with student education. An example is at the Kirkland school district near the original outbreak of the c-19 the schools are closed and it shuts down 23,000 students there alone. With the entire state closed, disenfranchises 1.12 million students state wide.
Different districts are handling it almost independently. Here’s Seattle:

And they are up in the air about graduation as it states in the article. Real problems this is.

My friend’s daughter is in her last year of pharmacy school. They just cancelled the planned rotations and seminars for the last 2-3 months and will graduate them in May.
All the students had residencies at hospitals, etc… arranged after graduation, so its not a huge loss of learning or opportunity for them.
