Ideas for places to go while taking online classes?
I (26M) am a grad student in a unique program where my classes are from 8:30 AM to 5 PM virtual synchronous with a one hour lunch break in between. The class timeline wise is pretty short and will only be 2 weeks long meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The only issue is that I am living with family in a small apartment where there is not any space for me to do the class uninterupted all day and I anticipate having to talk in whole group discussions and in breakout rooms. I had ideas of maybe going to a coffee shop in the morning and then possibily transitioning to a library after my lunch break.
He has made it clear that students cannot take the class in their cars and that we must have our cameras on. The class starts this Monday and I have not reached out to my professor about my situation. I am not sure if I should. Any suggestions on how I should take my classes these next two weeks?
For more context, I am from the United States in Long Beach, CA
