With the COVID-19 pandemic and UFV&#8217;s switch to remote learning, I was very worried that I would not feel that I was getting as much out of my education as I do with on-campus learning. To my surprise, I had one of the most enjoyable and meaningful semesters of my entire time at UFV this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Two of my professors in particular shared with the class that they had been working closely with the TLC to make sure our online classes were going well. I enjoyed both of those classes so much, and I really felt that the professors were implementing some very creative and effective teaching strategies and tools that made learning fun and meaningful. I have no doubts that the TLC had a lot to do with this.<\/p>\n<p>My professor Dr. Corman worked closely with the TLC in developing our final exam, and I must tell you that it was the most enjoyable final exam I have ever written. An enjoyable final exam&#8230; who knew it was possible?! I really felt that the process of writing that exam was very meaningful and really allowed me to demonstrate my learning in a very creative way.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all that you and the TLC team do in order to make sure that UFV students get the most out of their education. I promise you that students are reaping the benefits of this hard work.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Paige Riddell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFV Learning Designers (from left to right) Soowook Kim, Ken Harmel and Dugg Steary My name is Paige Riddell and I am a fourth-year Bachelor of Arts student at UFV.
