According to the article, "College professors are well versed in their discipline but, generally, are poorly prepared for the affective and cognitive differences their students bring with them into a course. One of the silver linings of the COVID and racial pandemics is an increased critical dialogue about the power and oppression at play in the design and teaching of college courses. A college class, whether it is taught in a physical classroom or online, is not experienced the same by all students. Students are not just names on a roster. They are humans who bring an array of cultural values and past experiences into a course. These experiences influence their relationship to a course."
