[Factc] COVID-19 planning

[Myers, Lucas]

There are ways to teach classes like Microbiology for pre nursing students completely online. These are the things we should discuss. We at LCC already do that for students. It is also hard to believe that we can adequately adhere to the social distancing directive in a lab with 6-12 people. Too much going on in a lab.

Hi Jim and all –

I have the same question about classes with lab/clinical/technical hands-on components.
For example, at GRC we have been directed to either create online lab content for spring classes with labs or to meet F2F in small groups (split a class of 24 into 12 and meet with 2 groups separately and follow social distancing guidelines).
There are specific science classes whose catalog course description and content specific learning outcomes cannot be met if they transition to 100% online – for example, microbiology (student cannot learn and be assessed on aseptic technique) or cell biology (students cannot learn how to use scopes and thus will not gain this proficiency and cannot do scope work).

How do members of your science, health science, tech programs, etc. proceeding with spring classes given COVID mandates?

Is your administration permitting cancellation of certain classes due to inability of students to learn core content offline?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just checking to see what’s happening on other campuses. Whatcom is finishing this quarter online and moving all classes next quarter online. Current concern centers around lab classes online. Have any of you heard of possible solutions for this?

Thanks,
Jim
