One survey bySimpson Scarborough [3] of 513 students in March 2020 found that, among college students whotook the survey, “63% say online instruction is worse than the in-person instruction they receivedat their school.” A second survey at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine [4] found thatstudents reported that “their learning has worsened since the move to e-learning, with 44% ofstudents responding ‘somewhat worsened’ and 26% answering ‘significantly worsened.”Ithaka S+R, in partnership with 21 universities across the U.S., developed a student surveyfocused on institutional communications and support, curricular needs, safety and well-being,and fall retention [5]. 15,677 students completed the survey.

Credit was received for passing a PS or P course; however, a traditional Fresulted in 0 grade points which lowered the student’s GPA. For graduate students, a passing gradeis considered an A or B, and for undergraduate students an A, B, or C grade. As shown in Table3, no graduate student received an FL grade. Pass (P) and Satisfactory (S) grades are primarilyreserved for thesis and dissertation courses. Graduate students performed slightly better during theCOVID pandemic months.For undergraduate students, the percentage of students who passed each semester was relativelyconsistent; see Table 4.
