Hear From Our Online Students
"Despite my having to wake up before 5 a.m. each morning to attend each class because I’m in Hawaii, I thoroughly enjoyed taking the calculus course from the convenience of my home. To take the course from a prestigious university like Tufts and from an instructor as knowledgeable and helpful as Professor Samuel Gomez was one of the highlights of my summer!"
CATHS Student, 2022
"I had the wonderful opportunity to take a public speaking course this summer through Tufts. This class was extremely engaging, despite the restrictions of online learning. We began each lesson with exercises, each student would alternate leading the class on warmups, we were given time to produce a short speech to present during class time, and had a chance to watch videos of successful speeches to emulate. Our assignments included recording a draft speech to be uploaded onto Canvas, and we gave comments and suggestions to our classmates to help them improve for the final speech. This particular course opened my eyes to the beauty of speaking in public and the communication skills needed to interact with others. I felt the progress and improvement by the end of this program and can’t believe my development throughout those weeks."
