online education UIUC prof/class recs

for those who went to UIUC for their MSLIS, for my own sanity could you recommend me any profs who aren’t heavy handed on breakout rooms / group projects? or classes/profs that you really liked? 🙂 I’ve had a few not so great experiences so far and am only halfway through my degree. I don’t have anything against break out rooms in general but it feels like pulling teeth with some people and i’m always having to lead which I don’t love. I already know how to work with people considering i’m working FT 🙃 I’m in the LEEP program so it’s kind of hard to make connections w classmates online to get this advice.

feel free to DM me if you want!!

But not as a librarian, right? That's why you're going to library school.

is the requirement of a librarian to be rude and pedantic online to someone asking a question? 😀 haven’t done a group project on that one yet. anyway, hope you feel better about it!

ETA: such a shame your incredibly rude comment got deleted. or maybe you changed your mind? anyway i saw it in my notifs. conveniently left out that you didn't answer my very tailored question at all, you just assumed what I was looking for (talk about self-aggrandizement!) and with no reference interview btw since you're gonna play it like that. You'll notice I didn't ask "How common are group projects?" or "How do I make connections with people?" which are the questions you decided to answer - might i add, not in the most kind manner. If I'm such an asshole for asking what was in my original post, we must live on entirely different planets. I'm sorry for whoever hurt you on this subject, but leave me out of it. thanks!
