While a ceramics curriculum sounds difficult to do online, Wilcox said she plans to do quizzes remotely and has had students take clay home, with the possibility she may have to grade finished pieces by emailed photographs. UH announced that classes after spring break will be done online at least until mid-April. The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
