WHAT COULD BE ADDED?

"some way to directly speak only to the teacher, especially during tests, because it is hard and awkward to talk to the teacher when the whole class is silent and taking a test"

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE DISTANCE LEARNING (DL)?

"I didn't necessarily choose distance learning, for me it was my only option if I wanted to continue taking French classes"

"I had to finish at least two years for UC and I already took French 1 so I was not going to take two spanish's."

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DL?

"I like the new jamboard"

CHANGES?

"I would like to be able to occasionally go down to Placer to be able to see the classroom, students, and teacher"

WHAT IS DIFFICULT?

"It is already hard enough to understand a teacher speaking in a foreign language fast, but when the sound quality isn't great, it is even harder. The screen sometimes gets really blurry and we can't see anything. It is hard being in a learning environment where your teacher isn't right in front of you to help you"

Lack of one-on-one teaching

Possible solution
