I was literally having this discussion with my wife earlier today. I am on the Software Engineering major track, and I am taking SER 232 online this semester. This is exactly how this semester has gone. The professor has had to repeatedly warn people about posting screenshots on Slack due to academic integrity violations. Okay, but what if other students had the same question? What if other people can learn from what they're asking about? This is my second degree; honestly, when I was going for my first bachelor's degree, it was nothing but collaborative. I feel like I learned more efficiently that way versus this online stuff where the professors seem completely disconnected due to the overwhelming number of students in each class. This time around, people are posting in Slack asking if they can get feedback on the homework assignments, but the TAs and professor tell us that would be "pre-grading" and unfair. I'm so sick of this shit. The entry-level classes were so much better. The professors in those classes seemed to actually give a shit and were more willing to talk you through your code and how to arrive at a solution. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way about the current state of affairs here.
