is the college, any college really, ready to go 100% online with so little time to prepare???
No. No, they're not, at least not the ones that have a huge majority of classes that are face-to-face. My boss' wife has been trying to figure out her class and all of the tech needed all last week, and she's scary-smart and super tech-savvy. I don't even know what this is going to be like for the professors who aren't as tech-smart as she is.
A&M is giving the students the option to change all of their grades from letter grades to the S/U system for this semester if they want, since they know 99.999% of those kids aren't prepared for online classes. Luke is actively dreading it, although he says he's glad that all of his professors are going asynchronous so he doesn't actually have to be up and ready to function at 8:00am for his 8:00am class anymore--he can get the lecture whenever he wants it. But then he misses out on any interaction with the prof and the chance to ask questions, so he's not happy about that, either. I think it's going to be a huge mess, at least at first.
