You's are in for tough times
[QUOTE=OliverNP;4702566] Just record lecture on video once, design test, and pay a student to collect and report test grades. I know this option has been "available" to colleges for three decades, but this is the first time I'm aware of in history that it has been made mandatory, so it may roll the ball in that direction permanently. Most university profs probably aren't spending much individual time per student anyway (unless she's hot and he wants to bang her).[/QUOTE]I think they will see shocking drop of returning students in the Fall whose parents figure out they can do one of the really developed online Us like Purdue or Liberty and get a quality education at half the price without worrying about them getting wasted or an STD since they can keep an eye on them.
UVA reunion weekend at end of April was cancelled -- missed their chance to liquor up some swells to open their check books, not to the mention the chance to spread COVID 19 to the Class of 70,75 & 80 and get some of their planned giving contributions sooner than expected!
No more students at DC schools
[QUOTE=GuyInTheCorner;4699306]I don't know about you all, but I'm inclined to avoid meeting up with any friends right now. I don't need the hassle of explaining how and why I happened to be in touch with someone half my age, thank you very much. (Not that my opsec should be that vulnerable to the CDC.). Downturn and more precisely the expectation of what may be coming over the next few months doesn't help.
That said, for those of you who have your acorns stored away and are single, this could be a banner time coming up to be a SD. Particularly with business travel and conferences being whittled down and cutting out the one-night stand SDs willing to put down a little more to get a sure thing when they are in town. Good luck my friends.[/QUOTE]Apparently AU has told all students must leave university housing by March 23rd. GW is the 21st. Georgetown is encouraging everyone to go to their permanent addresses but nothing about required to leave.
AACC extends spring break
Yesterday, one of my SBs told me that Anne Arundel Community College will not have any in-person classes from 16-29 March. They'll possibly extend that to longer time periods depending on the severity and what UMD decides to do as well.
While some might see opportunity for dropping prices in this hobby, it might very well be time for all of us to take a break. Shit's becoming more and more like that game "Plague Inc" with each passing day.
Yeah same with the others.
[QUOTE=Grasshopping;4703024]I my principal SB is a student at GW. She told me that students are getting kicked out of the dorms and all classes are going to online.[/QUOTE]Didn't realize I left that part out.
