9 & 10 News April 29, 2021 Students at Central Michigan University have had to adapt during the pandemic in order to get the experience they need to graduate. “As a whole, we have learned how to persevere, honestly,” says soon to be CMU graduate Nina Reynolds. Reynolds is a broadcast and cinematic arts major. She says before the pandemic, her classes involved a lot of hands-on experience. “When you come into class, clearly you can have multiple people on set, either running the camera doing the mics,” says Reynolds. When the pandemic hit, all of that changed. Reynolds says, “It started to become really stressful, especially from my standpoint because I remember I was taking like an advanced audio class, which was the class where we’re learning how to mic up instruments, and clearly that’s not really something you can do from a home setting.”
