Well that's easily fixable with low effort - at minimum make a web conference for each of the lectures, but better yet save the recordings onto a platform that students can refer back to later.
- recyclelater 4y agoWhy? Not every job is remote friendly, why set up that expectation? I get that there’s some give and take from both sides here (teacher, being paid by students, and students, meeting the expectations of the teachers tasked with both educating as well as filtering), but I don’t think making everything remote will get people who already skip class watching videos of class. Edited to clarify filtering comment: if teachers don’t filter out low performing students who don’t make any effort to work within their environment, then the trust in a college degree as a signaling mechanism to potential employers goes away. It’s already started to go away for a variety of reasons, but graduating students who can’t do basic math and can’t regularly even attend lectures will destroy it completely within the next ten years. I say this as an employer who already has a shaky trust in a degree based off real world experience hiring CS graduates.
