Regardless of a Texas State student s major, it is likely they will have to take at least two life sciences courses before she, he or they can get a degree. However, a quick Google or Twitter search provides many a thread started by students desperate for an easy A in science, something they either fear, hate or just do not want to deal with.
Of course, an easy A is much easier when students are actually interested in the topic. Interest is a key part of the learning process and increases a student s motivation, attention and retention of topics. In this era of distance learning, it has become harder for students to find motivation, with a College Reaction/Axios poll taken last April showing that 77% of students surveyed thought their online classes were worse than in-person classes.
