in-person instructions, thanks to the declined infection rate afterthe development of different vaccines, online and hybrid class meetings are still an option forconducting a class, especially for those students who might contract COVID during the semester.In this work, we study the students’ performance in a linear control course across three differentcohorts: pre, during, and after the pandemic. Statistical analysis of students’ exam scores is usedto infer whether the online experience significantly affected the students learning or not. We usedata from the course offering in fall 2019, fall 2020, and fall 2021, where the taught modules andfinal exams were kept the same. In addition, while the homework assignments were not identical,they
papersattempted to answer this question. None of them was able to answer it unambiguously.In summary, there is strong evidence that both students and faculty find this approach lessstressful and prefer it. There is also evidence that it really does improve students’ metacognition:they invest more thought in their answers, and improve their self-evaluation skills. These factorsshould lead to an increase in learning, but so far, none has been demonstrated. In any case, apractice favored by both students and instructors is unlikely to fade away, so the future maybring more evidence of its effectiveness.8.
