Hallie Swanson | Remote learning was a disaster; let’s make this the last time
(01/14/22 1:06am)
The Spring 2022 semester was supposed to begin this week, but instead, a series of Zoom meetings were held in lieu of in-person teaching. On January 12th, Penn announced that indoor events will remain suspended "until in-person classroom instruction resumes." The announcement did not extend the online quiet period further, but also did not explicitly confirm that classes will definitely be held in-person after January 24th. Students shouldn’t hold their breath: similar announcements have been reversed in the past.
