[00:00:00.000]The soybean demand at harvest time has not been--
[00:00:03.130]A grain merchandising class
[00:00:04.710]Rob Buhl took during the fall semester
[00:00:07.040]gave him information he'll use
[00:00:08.940]when he goes home to farm with his dad near Osceola.
[00:00:12.470]And thanks to a special three-week session
[00:00:14.750]offered in December,
[00:00:15.810]Buhl will head home a semester earlier than he planned.
[00:00:19.860]Yeah, it's gonna be an intense three weeks,
[00:00:22.240]but I'll just make time for that
[00:00:24.590]and make sure I take care of what needs to be done
[00:00:27.890]and graduate in December.
[00:00:30.410]Two three-week sessions
[00:00:32.110]are offered to students in December and January.
[00:00:34.940]A variety of online classes give students the opportunity
[00:00:38.220]to broaden career skills,
[00:00:39.830]get ahead on their degree requirements,
[00:00:41.820]or in Buhl's case, graduate early.
[00:00:44.220]It gives our students an awesome opportunity
[00:00:47.570]to explore new classes,
[00:00:49.660]to get experiential learning under their belts,
[00:00:52.740]or maybe even to repeat a class
[00:00:55.020]that has kind of stumped them in the past
[00:00:56.880]so they can continue to move forward in their degrees.
[00:01:00.260]Nearly 60 courses are being offered
[00:01:02.610]during the sessions.
[00:01:03.870]Faculty have come up with some marvelous ways
[00:01:08.050]to develop exciting, interesting courses
[00:01:11.560]that still help students acquire the knowledge,
[00:01:15.960]the fundamental knowledge,
[00:01:18.320]and the critical thinking skills that they need
[00:01:21.547]to be successful in their careers and in life.
[00:01:24.910]It's been a tough year for students
[00:01:26.650]as they navigate university life during a pandemic.
[00:01:29.830]But Buhl says the lesson in resilience and gratitude
[00:01:33.200]will not be forgotten.
[00:01:34.708]Life's gonna throw you a lot curve balls
[00:01:36.340]and there's a lot of opportunities through adversity
[00:01:40.510]and one of them is
[00:01:42.000]it allows me to graduate in December here.
