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.

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!

Troll post. No one takes 6 classes in a semester.
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!

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.

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