Brigham Young University has recently announced a variety of online classes for the fall semester, but some professors are standing by their refusal to use technology.
Since learning that they would not be able to teach in-person classes, a group of the most esteemed and senior professors have now released plans for remote classes that will not include technological usage. These plans include teaching through mail or using winged animals.
“I didn’t think it was possible until I found an owl outside my window with a letter in its beak,” said Jameson. “At first, I assumed I had finally gotten my Hogwarts acceptance letter, but the wax seal with the letter ‘H’ actually meant it was from Professor Harrisburg.”
Professor Willardsen Harrisburg teaches a marriage prep class that will be made available via owl.
“I’m going to be learning how to get married through transcribed lectures and handwritten assignments that have to be done in permanent marker,” Jameson read. “The class requires a binding oath to swear off the use of technology during class time. It also says I have to send a shipment of sealed jars with air kisses inside. I just hope the owls will be able to deliver all of this in time.”
As more BYU professors are becoming interested in this approach to teaching remote classes, the fall class schedule is expected to be updated soon to include “owl structure” on the list of instruction modes.
