For thousands of seniors across the country looking at grad school, COVID-19 has flipped that process on its head. That isn’t even to mention the fact that their last year of undergrad has been spent in a way vastly different from what they were hoping.
“I was disappointed realizing that my grad school experience would likely be different from what I had expected,” said Madison Storm, a senior multimedia journalism major. “I’m mostly worried about the quality of education not being the same if I work to complete my degree entirely online because journalism is a lot of applied learning rather than virtually taught lessons.” Senior human development major Jaida Buchanan shares some of the same concerns as Storm when it comes to online graduate classes. Buchanan aspires to be a teacher, which pre-COVID was a mostly hands-on experience toward the end of the program. “I have my worries because student teaching was supposed to be hands-on, and it might just be Zoom now,” Buchanan said. “I'm not sure how they're going to student teach.” Read the rest of the Collegiate Times story HERE.
