Journal Entry, Week 1

The topic I'm going to be doing is How COVID 19 affects university and college students and how it exposes the fact that we have a weak infrastructure for distance learning.  Prior to this class, I've done a few research papers, just as equally challenging as this one. I typically dislike research.  Reason for this would be due to the fact that I see research papers as a daunting activity.  I've never enjoyed looking up facts that anyone can look up.  If I were to do a research paper I would rather do it on something that no one knows about, and actually conduct experiments on it.  I tend to begin my research with a question and then I go to google.  This week I learned that I despise online only school.  I prefer sitting in class doing my work while the teacher discusses the day's lesson, and then having most of the day to myself to workout or climb.  Last quarter, I was able to do all of my course work in class, and rarely took something home.  If I did an assignment at home, typically it was just something I couldn't finish in class.
