I have 2 awesome profs who email us before each lab and put reminders on canvas about assignments it's really awesome biology profs know how to do online classes for sure.
but my other 2 profs don't communicate at all and just post lecture videos. one of them emails us when he posts his videos while the other doesn't tell us anything, we actually had to petition the department head to get her to answer our emails. she does a q and a twice a week now.
something that might help you is to join (or create) a WhatsApp group for each of your classes. it helps a lot for remembering assignments. I'm pretty great at assignment dates myself since I put stuff into my phone the second I find out about it but I had a quiz last week I would have forgotten it but the group chat was all like "how's studying going?" and it clued me in.
but yes. I agree. online class can be challenging when your profs don't know what they are doing. and it can be hard to focus and my eyes are burning from staring at a screen all day. and I've been working on my lab for hours and I'm still not done because I suck at labs! good luck to you. I hope things improve.
Thanks for your message anon!! :D
I wish I got emails omg,,, my canvas has like 32463786 notifications at all times and it sucks because there are a bunch of useless messages like “your classmate said ____ in discussions!” which I really don’t care about haha... I also have the same problem with bad profs vs good profs. I generally don’t have a problem with most classes but math and chemistry I am going to throttle lol I swear the only thing we do in math is figure out how to do a break out room in zoom lol
Good luck on your labs anon!! They are definitely the hardest part for me too T.T rip them lab writing skills...
Thanks for your well wishes, I will try my hardest!! 。^‿^。
