"While we are living in a time that has created so many obstacles, not just to learning, but industries, the stability of economies, and most every other aspect of life, I applaud Rice University’s commitment to continue providing its students a fantastic education through all these challenges at the best quality possible. From my point of view, my transition to online learning could not have been smoother, and that is thanks to the wonderful job done by Rice professors and IT staff. Coming back after spring break my professors were extremely well prepared and fluent in all the online tools needed to provide the best possible remote learning they can. This allowed us to hit the ground running immediately with our courses. In the month since school has been virtual, none of my professors have had any hiccups or problems using online teaching methods, and my professors are still able to get through all of their course material, administer office hours, and give us plenty of help along the way. I sincerely applaud Rice University in their adjustments to provide us students with continued high quality learning." - Maher Nammour, Economics, Class of 2021
