Addressingquestions in person through a raised hand while concurrently tracking camera feeds of remoteclassrooms and raised hands in Zoom is mentally taxing and can slow the pace of lectures. Somestudents are not comfortable with asking questions during a lecture, which means more timemust be allocated after the lecture to address questions from remote students who prefer to hold adiscussion without such a large (multi-campus) audience. One participant indicated that teachinga multi-campus requires an additional 30 minutes before and after each scheduled lecture.Early career instructors also suffer hardship through student evaluations of teaching in multi-campus courses.

As the demand for their time and efforts increases, this problem will hunt them more. Unless dealt with correctly, with decisive action from the teacher in the freshman year, this great research tool (the Internet) will be wrongly utilized for the rest of their careers. One of the goals of the educators in the freshman year has to be giving the students guidelines and practices for efficient, ethical, and professional use of the Internet.9.

By the end of the student’s college education, chemical engineers should beable to integrate safety into their design work in both experimental research and focusedindustrial applications (Davidson 2018). However, most students only learn the value of safetywhen something goes wrong or when safety is particularly relevant to their work.
