For those with students returning to campus, how many classes are in person?

And that is fine. 2.5 months of in person is better than 3.5 months of all online.

Amen. + 1,000

I am a prof at JMU. We are only supposed to have 50% capacity in classrooms so everyone is handling it differently: M/W schedule, every other week schedule, scheduling an extra large classroom (not enough for everyone). In addition, you could apply to teach online but you had to submit a plan that was approved. About half of the classes in my department will be online.

I am teaching the only sections of a particular class needed by many students; I have scheduled it for in-person. I emailed my students and about half want to do online only (or online except for office hours, tests, and/or quizzes). I am happy to be flexible about this, but I know other profs won't be.

My colleagues have pointed out that the students are most interested in seeing each other and not us. I assume many will move back to spend time around each other and will be just fine doing online or hybrid classes with their friends.

Five 3-credit classes and a 1 credit “first year experience” type class. 16 credits is a pretty normal course load. Glad you know better, though!

6 classes is certainly not the norm in college. Highly unusual and generally not recommended.

It is not unusual at my child’s college for her major (and from every other major I scrolled thru at her school). Six classes is the recommend sequence for her major for first semester freshmen. Again, glad you know better!

18 credits is not unusual. My college was Catholic and required 130 credits to graduate. Freshman were limited to 15. I did two 18 credit and one 19 credit semesters

SLAC, '93. Switched major junior year and still had to graduate in four years (family rules/dad paid/2 siblings behind me) so did 4, 18 credit semesters and on summer school session.
