Episode 25: Peers and Community in Remote Learning

Our guests are Professor Matthew Wright, chair and professor of Adelphi's physics department, and two of his students, Carissa and Ravyn. We focus on the importance of getting support from our peers, and of fostering a community in an online class. We discuss the different ways that the instructors stay in touch with students and share ideas on how to best communicate with peers and colleagues. Should instructors put up a front of strength or show students their own struggles? How do students feel about that?
