Do students prefer in-person or virtual learning?
February 10, 2022
The Trailblazer interviewed students to get their opinions on virtual versus in-person learning. The Vincennes campus recently switched to virtual instructions for one week early in the semester due the rise in COVID cases.

I prefer virtual classes because I can work in the agriculture industry and still continue my education in agriculture.

As an automotive tech major, I have to be in person since the major is all about hands-on learning. There’s not much you can do if you’re virtual.
— Owen Heffelmire, an automotive technology major from Indianapolis

I prefer in person learning. I believe it is easier to understand and comprehend what I am learning when I am in person. It is also easier to ask questions in person and I don’t have to worry about losing connection to a Zoom call.
