Nope. | |||
One of the schools I applied to only provide the course packets digitally. One of the main reasons I decided not to go there was they didn't give paper course packets. I strongly hope we will continue to have paper packets as an option. Thank you for valuing our input! | |||
I love having things available online and on digital formats BUT I love it when it is in ADDITION to hard copies or class work and not IN PLACE of them. In other words, I don't like it when the only material available is online or digital.
