/ Andres Mendoza, 25, logs into the portal for his accounting class to see how much homework he has April 27, 2021. Mendoza is a junior at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He works full time and attends college part time.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Andres Mendoza leaves work an hour early so he can get home in time for his online classes.
When he gets home, he lets his wiener dog Draco outside, then logs onto Blackboard to get his latest assignments.
“It s only technically nine questions, but it s really probably about 40 questions,” Mendoza said, looking over his accounting assignment on a recent Tuesday afternoon. “This actually doesn t look too bad. I might not be doing homework all night today. Okay, this isn t that bad. That s a relief.”
