In saying that an online class lacks important experiences for students, one of
the problems I see in that is that there are many schools which have given up
using rats in their experimental classes because the regulations and the
expenses they create make it impossible to have animal labs. It would seem
that a virtual conditioning experience is better than none, while agreeing that
the live rat shaping is better than Sniffy.
