"I have daily online coffee breaks with my friends"
Bachelor's student Vera Birrer thinks most online lectures are done really well. But she misses the student life at ETH.
All lectures at ETH are currently taught online in order to slow down the spread of the coronavirus.

How do you personally experience this special situation? What is the hardest part?
I miss student life: studying or meeting with friends, sports at ASVZ and the surroundings of ETH.
How do you like the online lectures and exercise sessions?
Mostly they both are done really well but I prefer the classical classroom teaching. I experience the exchange with the professors and assistants as more challenging.
Are you taking part in a study group set up by AMIV?
No, but I have a daily coffee break at 10am to chat with my friends.
Are there any positive experiences or ways of working that you will probably keep after the Corona crisis?
I will consider the option of online meetings more often, I am surprised that they work so well.
