Require Hybrid/Virtual Professors to Maintain Access to Class Content
The Issue
As we are all experiencing with the current COVID-19 education situation, many of the classes we take are held either hybrid (half virtual and half in person), or fully online. In fact, the majority of many people's schedules are, online zoom classes. As a result, many professors pre-recorded many short videos to serve for class period learning throughout the semester, and limit the class interaction to once, or maybe twice, a week.
This petition aims to convince Bradley Administration to require those professors to provide access to these class videos throughout the entirety of the course.
We're already missing out on 50-66% of our class interaction in classes like these, and that's on top of the fact that any interaction is virtual. Sure, we take notes during class, and that's a habit any good student should have. But if our class period is being replaced by five, four minute videos, recorded in August, then there is an obvious lack of quality between what tuition is supposed to represent and what we're receiving.
Given the COVID-19 environment, many of us are okay with this. However, it is the least Bradley can do to require those videos to have maintained access and not allow professors to delete them after the day of the class they were for. They provide helpful study material, and are specific and readymade review guides. To remove these videos is a "haha got you" in the face of any student looking for efficient ways to study, and quite frankly that sends a message that those faculty aren't looking for students to do well.
