LBCC instructors should be less strict on deadlines and assignments to give students a chance to succeed during online learning. Some students attending online classes have challenges that can prevent them from paying attention or submitting assignments on time. Instructors also have the challenge to be more lenient with their students during online classes, to help them succeed and adjust to their schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are students who are currently struggling trying to adjust to the online system, and if teachers aren\u2019t able to be less strict with deadlines, it could hurt the students\u2019 grade heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Distractions often occur within online classes and the household, so instructors have to adjust to being more acceptable and forgiving. It doesn\u2019t need to be all the time, but when those times occur, there can be a few adjustments arranged to ensure the student is still able to complete work or focus on the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some students might have no private working environment, so their workspace is filled with constant distractions. There can be other people over in your house during class time, which can affect your ability to listen if the distractions are too loud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not just the work environment that students have difficulty dealing with, it can also be the lack of resources available during remote learning. For example, a college student can be paying full tuition to attend in-person classes, and with the pandemic, they\u2019re still paying the same amount. However, they don\u2019t have immediate access to resources, such as raising your hand for help, or talking to an instructor during their office hours, which some students rely on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students also often refer to the library for help or for a quiet location, and without that access, it makes it more difficult for students that rely on the library. They might have gone to the library to use the computers and printers that they don\u2019t have at home. Without that, it hurts the students\u2019 opportunity to have a reliable resource and makes it difficult for them to submit assignments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though it is made clear that teachers will have office hours for any questions if necessary, some of those students don\u2019t find it useful because they prefer being shown and taught lessons in-person rather than through screen-sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teachers should also limit assignments during online classes because it can be too much or students don\u2019t have the time to complete it because they have other priorities. This especially affects students who are taking multiple classes, because having that much school work while trying to balance your lifestyle can cause stress for some. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
