Outdoor in-person classes had their ups, downs Santiago Gaughan/The Cougar As society slowly comes out of isolation, the format of classes are beginning to change again. While some students took in-person classes, they haven’t all made it back to the classroom. Some in-person classes this semester have been in a new kind of format. A format with with stray dogs, confident squirrels and construction noises. Many students had face-to-face classes that met outdoors this semester. After all of these meetings under the trees and sun, some students feel like they have a deeper relationship with mother nature. Of course every relationship has it’s ups and downs, and this one was no different.
