The format and experience during online class was not drastically different that our previous classes, however, the only thing was not being able to be physically sitting next to classmates and work in that atmosphere.  Getting assistance and sharing ideas was not difficult and was pretty seamless.

If you did not feel challenged is there something you would do differently if you were to do it again? I challenged myself conceptually, I feel.  Because I constantly had to be reevaluating whether my message was getting across and how people would interpret it since Coronavirus is a hot t
