With quarantines and social-distancing becoming ever more widespread and stringent in the face of the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic students around the world are being forced to take their classes online.
This works well for some areas of study (computer science, foreign languages) and less well for others (sorry chemistry students!). But regardless of the subject matter, there are bound to be hiccups and snags when suddenly moving a large number of people used to doing something one way over to a whole new method. Add anxious/lazy students and technology-challenged instructors and professors to the mix and you have a recipe for disaster – or at least hilarity.
In many quarantined online classes, things are already going very wrong and we are here to document those fails every step of the way.
