Yucheng Tao
From HSCI340
Before the spring semester began, the Covid-19 had broken out in China. When I
took a flight back to campus, I was worried about potential infection at the airport. In
February, things were not that bad. Only a few cases were reported in Massachusetts.
Professor told us that situation may get worse in the recent future. We never thought
the semester would be changed that much then. Everything was still normal.
Unluckily that was the night before the storm. In the week before spring break, the
situation got really bad. The number of infections increased at a rocket-like speed. I
didn’t know that was my last week in class for this semester. Then spring break was
extended for another week. All the classes would be online. I couldn’t see my friends
and classmates for a long time. As an international student, I moved to senior suites
for the rest of my semester. Luckily I still have a place to live. Thanks to the online
class, I didn’t have to get up at 8 AM on most days. But I have to admit that the online
class is not as efficient as a normal class. I had a bad memory so I made several
assignments overdue. In the quarantine days for the rest of the semester, life was
really boring. We had to stay in our room for the whole day. I just hope the pandemic
can end soon. If we had to go out, we need to prepare the face mask and sterilized
water.
Most international flights were canceled so I cannot go home even the semester
ended yesterday. I felt helpless and anxious. I may have to stay on campus in the
summer. I miss my friends and family so much and I really want to go home. On the
campus, the gym and outdoor basketball court were locked. We couldn’t go anywhere
to exercise except running around the senior suite. I miss the gym so much. Luckily

the food is still good in Cheney, we can grab every day’s meals in the afternoon. Life
is not that bad but it’s really boring. I am still planning what to do in summer.

Title
A name given to the resource
Health Sciences Epidemiology Classes
Description
An account of the resource
This collection includes items submitted by students in the Health Science major who were enrolled in HSCI 325: Biostatistics, HSCI 340: Principles of Epidemiology, or HSCI 420: Evidence-Based Health Care in the spring 2020 semester. These three courses cover topics related to the distribution and determinants of disease, and in spring 2020 these topics were illustrated using examples related to COVID-19. At the end of the semester, students were given the option to contribute to this archive for extra credit towards their final project grade. To receive extra credit, students were asked to identify, capture, and describe an item that could be used as a primary source by future historians and researchers to study the experiences of Springfield College during the COVID-19 pandemic.
