UW-Madison student Macy Saundersâ schedule this school year has been entirely online â no face-to-face or hybrid classes.
Itâs made for a tough transition for the sophomore, who transferred to the university last fall to study conservation biology, considers herself to be a hands-on learner and has yet to take a class in an academic building.
âIâm just ready to get to actually enjoy the campus and meet people,â she said Thursday after getting tested for COVID-19, one of the only activities that brings her to campus.
Saunders and thousands of other students growing increasingly weary of online learning received a dose of cautious optimism when the University of Wisconsin System announced that it anticipates at least 75% of classes on each UW campus will be taught fully face-to-face or in a hybrid format this fall.
