For my degree, all of my courses are online. However, since the virus, an important class had to be transported to online, just like any other school. My online experience was very easy going and smooth. The teachers made sure to give us thorough undivided attention by checking up on each student through messages on canvas and through comments under our papers after we submitted them. Those comments were helpful for me to stay in contact with my teacher.
To enhance communication, some teachers, like my English teacher Mrs. Karlson, provided us with an assistant for this summer semester since she logically recognized that her students would be stressed out because this semester is usually the shortest. All the students were grateful that she read our minds! We would have to meet up with our assistant once every week to go over our assignments. This was very helpful because, in this way, I was able to keep track of the assignments and correctly understand them.

What I love about Taft College is their patient employees and counselors, and the individuality between teacher to student.
As I get inside the office, I am immediately greeted by the staff. They were kind and patient to me as I waited to sit with my counselor for this upcoming semester. Then I hear my name,
“Nicole?”
I lifted my head from the welcoming papers and I staggered from my seat to greet my counselor.
During my stay at his office, my counselor made me feel heard as I explained my goals, and he generously gave me all of his attention. I appreciated the teacher and student individuality that Taft College offered.
Lastly, the teachers do not generalize everyone. As a result, this personal interest encourages students' success in their studies.
These qualities are what I appreciate from Taft College.
As far as what I would like to see in Taft College change, it would be nothing. I would have to be a brat to ask for anything more! I am extremely content at Taft College!

So far my experience at Taft College has been excellent! What I love the most is the class size. With having only 20 students to a class it allows for a more one-on-one with your professor. I feel my fellow students are less anxious when asking questions. In addition having a smaller class allows for an easier chance to get into classes. I also enjoy the campus, I am extremely appreciative for my college and my experience so far. I look forward to my next year at Taft College.
