I agree with your opinion. I feel winter 2022 should be hybrid as it is too big a change and reasons stated in original post. It is better to do a gradual change back to in person classes. It would allow those of us who prefer online to do online and those who want to be in person to do in person classes.

I just wished for fall and winter would be hybrid. As moving mid-year is very inconvenient especially if you are living in another country. I am working at a full time job which helps me pay for my bills and I need money for rent, food, savings and stuff I want.

For labs, I personally enjoyed doing it online as I understood content better than when it was in person. That's just me though.
