COMPARISON OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN AN ECONOMETRICS CLASS PRE AND POST REMOTE TEACHING DUE TO COVID-19
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an emergency shift to remote teaching in March 2020. Past research determined that this shift negatively impacted students’ learning in Spring 2020. In this paper, I investigate the persistence of this negative effect by comparing students’ performance in an econometrics class after the return to in-person teaching (Fall 2021) with the last pre-pandemic semester when classes were fully in-person (Fall 2019). Student performance is significantly lower in Fall 2021, but certain subgroups of students, such as those with a lower prior GPA and seniors, performed even worse. Instructor, course structure, assessments, and majority of the material taught remained the same over the two semesters.
