With coronavirus cases continuing to spike in South Florida, Miami Dade College announced Monday morning that it will start the fall semester remote with hopes of resuming face-to-face classes in a limited capacity by Sept. 28.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only classes that will be face-to-face on Sept. 1 will be courses that can\u2019t be replicated online<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>,<\/span> such as aviation, culinary arts and fashion classes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is still a very dynamic situation with many unknowns,\u201d wrote Interim College President Rolando Montoya in an email sent to students and staff. \u201cWe remain committed to providing the highest quality education, while securing the health and safety of our students and employees.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Ramsay\u2014president of the United Faculty of Miami Dade College\u2014criticized MDC\u2019s plan. She said faculty was not involved in the decision making process, and believes MDC should hold classes fully online or in a hybrid format this fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes it impossible for professors to plan effective delivery of their courses,\u201d said Ramsay, who teaches English for academic purposes classes. \u201cThere are many different ways that we could approach the challenges that we\u2019re facing right now, but this approach is irresponsible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But Montoya hopes the decision eases students\u2019 concerns about returning to campus, especially those with preexisting conditions that make them more susceptible to the coronavirus. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, the Florida Department of Health reported 10,508 new cases of coronavirus\u2014<\/span>the sixth consecutive day that Florida has documented more than 10,000 cases in a single day. Approximately 53,850 of those cases are in Miami-Dade County. That brings Florida\u2019s total cases to<\/span> 360,394.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf COVID continues spiking as it is right now, [fall] classes would probably continue purely remote,\u201dsaid MDC Spokesperson Juan C. Mendieta. \u201cThere is a hope that things improve to bring some of\u00a0 those classes back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The College continues to follow its three-phase recovery plan. They are currently in phase one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who has entered the campus since June 1 has had their temperature checked at a designated entry point, and they are not allowed on campus without a mask.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visitors are also asked about their travel history and whether they have any coronavirus symptoms and given a wristband.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If students, staff and faculty are allowed back on campus on Sept. 28 in a \u201climited fashion,\u201d the College will move to phase two. Professors would notify students when they can come back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social distancing would be practiced, masks will be required and classes will be taught in a blended format allowing students on campus for face-to-face instruction on a rotating format. Classes will be limited to 10-15 students <\/span>and rooms will be cleaned in between classes and at the end the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Services, like the bookstore, student services, learning resources and computer labs, will be open to the public at 50% capacity. Cafeterias, food pantries and coffee shops will only take to-go orders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Large events and gatherings will be prohibited and there will be limited admission at museums, galleries and performing arts events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great idea,\u201d said Kendall Campus Student Government Association President Anthony Valenzuela about MDC\u2019s announcement on Monday<\/span>. \u201cIt\u2019s a very cautious step that [MDC] is taking, and not jumping the gun by saying \u2018hey look, we\u2019re starting on Sept. 1, whether you like it or not, everyone back on campus.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students voiced their concerns on what MDC\u2019s reopening plan should be during a virtual town hall hosted by Kendall Campus SGA on July 16. Valenzuela said results were mixed. Some\u00a0 students want to return to campus, while others want their classes online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a survey conducted by MDC last spring, half of the students that responded\u2014around 4,750 students\u2014preferred face-to-face classes. Four out of ten students found it hard to concentrate and stay motivated during the pandemic, and one in five students said they were concerned\u00a0 about their own familiarity with technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Florela Francois, a North Campus student who is blind, said she is not comfortable taking classes online because the disability accommodations provided to her through ACCESS Services<\/span>\u2014extra time on tests, tutoring, note-taking services\u2014<\/span>will also be remote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old struggled when MDC switched to remote learning in March because it was hard to communicate with her online tutor<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span> The experience left her filled with anxiety and hours of lost sleep. As a result, Francois did not take classes this sum<\/span>mer, but will begrudgingly take classes this fall even if classes remain online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe professor might not know how I\u2019m doing,\u201d Francois said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the spring term, MDC enrolled <\/span>3,148 disabled students, and another 1,857 in the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
