UNL professor gets creative while working from home

COVID-19 has forced people to become creative when working from home, especially for UNL professor, Chad Brassil. 

LINCOLN, Ne. (KLKN) – COVID-19 has forced people to become creative when working from home, especially for UNL associate professor, Chad Brassil.

Brassil teaches Biology Concepts at the University but for now he is lecturing from his basement, in a studio he built from scratch. For only $100 dollars and an iphone, Brassil has transformed his basement into a place where he broadcasts his lectures for online summer classes. He says doing the videos and being apart of them are so important to keep a solid connection between student and teacher during a time like this.

“The hope is that through all the angst and agony of adjusting to a COVID world of education, we’ll be the better educators. We will take those lessons that we learned out of this and we will hang on to those good ones and then will incorporate them back into out educational courses in a post COVID world” Brassil said.

UNL will hold in-person classes come the fall but will also have the option on online classes too.
