As colleges across the nation recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, LCCC continues to examine how learning environments affect academic success. With a variety of courses and teaching formats, both students and faculty have experienced challenges as well as improvements in performance. 

“Student performance really depends on the subject,” said Sinjin Cavosi, a science lab tutor at LCCC. “Science students tend to do better in person, especially for hands-on lab work. But for lecture-based classes, students often benefit from online formats that offer more flexibility.” 

LCCC offers hybrid, in-person and fully online classes. These flexible options allow students to choose formats that suit their learning styles, schedules and responsibilities outside the classroom. 

This adaptability has contributed to stronger student engagement in recent years. With more control over how they learn, students are better able to balance academics with work, family obligations and other commitments that impact their daily lives. 

Shen Denardo, a student at LCCC, shared how online classes have helped her succeed. 

“Online classes provide more flexibility for when I do the assignments,” she said. 

She also noted that the format makes it easier to follow the material, highlighting how virtual learning can support student success when structured effectively and consistently. 

As higher education continues to evolve, LCCC remains committed to enhancing the student experience. By listening to feedback and refining course delivery methods, the college works to create an academic environment that is inclusive, adaptable and centered on student success, growth and opportunity.
