As a fitting end to a Very Online semester, I invited my students to create and share memes about our calculus class. Some of the memes are about calculus, but most are about learning online. Below I’ve shared some of my favorites.
Seeing these memes reminds me how funny and creative my students are. I feel like I have missed out on getting to know this class, first because I was traveling a lot for job interviews, and then because in-person classes ended. Relationships with students are much harder to cultivate online. I’m hoping to connect more with my students in the fall, even if classes are held online. I will spend the summer learning about ways to encourage a close class culture virtually.
