Hey there, Panthers!
Spend my days surrounded by books and databases as professional librarian at the University of Georgia Libraries (you can imagine how much we love it when someone asks for help finding resources! I've been hearing lot about students grappling with the shift to remote learning and couldn't help but wonder how that's been playing out at Georgia State University. We're all aware of how quickly things changed in the wake of COVID-19.
What seemed like an extended Spring Break quickly morphed into full-on remote learning situation. Everyone had to adapt overnight, professors had to figure out how to deliver lectures online, and students. Well, y'all had whole different set of challenges. Barely any time to say goodbye to your friends, no more coffee shop study sessions or late-night library cramming before exams. Suddenly, you're trying to learn from home, probably dealing with spotty internet connections and the added pressures of family responsibilities. Whew! It makes my head spin just thinking about it.
Basically, What I'm really curious about is how this transition has affected your academic performance? As someone who's passionate about helping students thrive acadically, I'm interested in hearing about your personal experiences. Did anyone find that their grades improved without distractions like campus social events? Or perhaps you struggled without direct access to tutors or library resources?
