poorly  my semester was already 100 online and was really looking forward to the late start classes on campus to help anchor me  my “pivot then spiral” strategy of starting with the least engaging material first then pivoting to the next least engaging task when i hit a wall strategy has a breath limit when i reset each time after a break esp the three times a day after meds it starts out ok but the amount of time i spend on the least engaging tasks gets shorter in block 2 and even shorter in block 3  my initial courseload was all csprogramming or maths which is a nice clustering of similar cognitive tasks and subject matter so that i can sometimes circle back to the original task in block 1 or 2 by downshifting for awhile   but bringing in other subjects like screenwriting or social science with different methods of instruction and assessment like dreaded discussion posts with internet strangers or reading  watching videos there is zero human interaction to catalyze my writing process or keep me engaged  our college is trying to move to more fully online credit classes in general without investing in remote support services or humans to provide necessary engagement so this covid-19 situation is just accelerating an existing trend   as a mature student at a community college to save money before transferring to a university for a career change i’m not excited at the prospect of further delaying doing research and eventually resuming work and drop courses bc of access issues will hit my financial aid all around not a great situation
