Beschrijving

Online classes, study abroad plans in array, students struggling, and teachers who are tired of seeing a Zoom screen — the pandemic has changed how we study. But why are we still stuck in traditional ways of teaching, and assessing students? What does being a student studying in college in 2021 feel like? Why are colleges insisting on going ahead with exams, when most students (and adults) are trying to piece their lives post-pandemic? What's the logic behind the "kids will fall behind" argument? And why can't we, in unprecedented times, ease off the pressure in schools and colleges? We got Neelakshi Tewari (@nixtewari), a researcher and PhD student on higher-ed at Arizona State University, to answer these questions, and more.   Got some ideas on what else we can talk about? Say hi at @theoversmartgirlspodcast on Instagram! You can also email us at tosgpodcast@gmail.com.
