[b]The first paragraph says classes will be smaller. That has a ton of ripple effects. If classrooms can’t even be 50% full due to the need for social distancing, there would need to be more sections of each class. [/b]This runs counter to the need for more time between classes so that cleaning can happen. I think these universities are painting a very rosy picture so students don’t jump ship. Any school that says they have these logistics even close to being worked out is lying.

Not necessarily. At my kid’s state school, the plan is to have the large lectures online and then the discussions/lab in person. That seems very viable. [/quote]

Viable maybe but is it really much better?  The discussion/lab sections usually meet once a week.  There wouldn’t be classroom space to increase that.  So you’re living on campus for maybe 5 hours of direct instruction a week.  Then another 15 hours of streaming lectures. [/quote]
