“They have moved a lot of typical resources to a Zoom format, but it doesn’t seem like any new resources have been introduced specifically to help us adapt to online school, and if there have, they have not been advertised well.”
“ us learn online for 12 weeks straight was severely misguided,” Runsewe said. One of her instructors, Professor of Anthropology Claudia Valleggia, designates the first five minutes of her Human Evolutionary Biology class to meditation and mindfulness, which Runsewe believes “goes a long way.” Nonetheless, Runsewe feels that, while professors have been helpful, the University has not done enough to help students adapt to online learning. Runsewe added that she feels professors are trying to encourage engagement. “There is little engagement in staring at PowerPoint slides and listening to the same voice for an hour and fifteen minutes … an internal battle to pay attention, and I haven’t been winning.” “Each week Zoom fatigue hits me like a truck,” Kamiye Runsewe ’24 said. While students seem to be experiencing Zoom fatigue in a variety of ways, it seems some professors are not experiencing it at all. This phenomenon refers to the seemingly endless exhaustion that students feel when attending multiple Zoom meetings in a day, usually back-to-back.
