[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, last fall because he's playing a sport. At this point, who knows if he'll even go to college in the fall because he would not survive online his first semester at college. He will not understand how different the workload is, has ADHD on top of it - just won't work. Not sure he'll even want to try it if things are still going as projected.

DD is currently at her college apartment and is miserable and depressed and struggling sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours a day watching videos and taking notes for her STEM classes. [b]Missing 3 labs a week[/b] as well - it's not feasible or worth the $$$ for college kids in STEM to be taking online classes....not sure what the future holds for our kids.[/quote]

My DS will be a first year nursing major in the fall and is supposed to take two lab sciences both semesters.  How is this working for your DD if she does not have the lab portion of the class?  I've been prepping my son that the curriculum may look different than expected if classes are online in the fall.[/quote]

From what I understand, they are doing them online but it is nothing like the actual class and I think 2 of them are just problem sets - obviously no experiments etc. I guess they could watch videos of experiments but for people who want to train to be chemists, physicists etc that won't cut it! She doesn't think it's working well at all so far. Maybe they will improve it over the summer. I'd be curious to hear from others as well who are at different schools. I've heard from others that any class like math, econ and STEM where there are "problems" it's been very challenging and disappointing to the majority of students.[/quote]
