Humans of Northwood: Shaoye “James” Zhan 

Because of the pandemic, I am taking online classes this year. Online classes are just as important as offline classes. I overcome the different time zone and try to join all the live classes. If a class is not available for me, I watch the recording of the class. Sometimes I will ask my teacher if it is possible switch the class to a better time for me. I spend a lot of time and vigor on my online classes. As we all know, online classes are difficult for students, especially for international students, because there are a lot of distractions that affect students’ concentration. However, I will keep working hard and pay attention to online class.
