COURSES transformed by collegeIMPACT on students

I actually really enjoyed the distance-learning portion of the class because I had never had a class before that used different approaches to learning such as watching videos on YouTube or doing internet scavenger hunts. I feel like that was actually a really effective way to learn because it caused my brain to think about things in a way I am not used to, or as the cliché states, ‘think outside the box’.
