CS373 Spring 2020: Sonali Bhat

Week #9!

Are you and your family safe and sound where you are?

I’m very lucky to be able to say that I’m home safe and that my family is doing well! Though we are all going a little stir crazy stuck at home, good health is definitely worth it!

How do feel about your ability to finish the term completely online?

I feel like the extra week of spring break was useful for all my professors to set everything up to finish the term online in all my courses. I definitely think that finishing out the term completely online is possible! It might be a little rough for a couple weeks as both professors and students adjust to the new format but I think its going to be okay.

What made you happy this week?

Hearing that our part two of exam 1 was pushed to Wednesday of next week made me happy! I was a little nervous having it on the first day back, as I felt a little uncomfortable with having to deal with the proctoring extension with Hackerrank and Zoom at the same time on our first day continuing with classes. I’m glad we had a practice run on the trial lecture on Friday, and that we will try it out again on Monday before we have to take the exam.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

Wash your hands and stay healthy! If you start going stir crazy stuck at home, try going for a walk outside while making sure to stay 6 feet away from other people! Fresh air and sunlight can do wonders for improving your mood!

Stay safe!
