The semester ends this coming Friday.
Professors have shown a lot of flexibility with students, said Frannie Wilkinson, 24, a graduate student in nutrition science from Kansas City. She and other students interviewed were studying in the MU Student Center. Lots of professors have been really understanding, Wilkinson said.
Students have had difficulty staying focused on a computer screen, she said. She was a teaching assistant for a class of 700 students and said she could tell how much difficulty some students were having. She tried to be as understanding as her professors were, she said.
She quarantined for two weeks in off-campus housing when her boyfriend caught COVID-19, she said.
