AB  - In this work in progress paper, we report on a component of a larger mixed methods study about  student experiences with online education during the COVID-19 pandemic and their socialization processes during the 2020-21 academic year. As most education and assessment quickly transitioned to remote, COVID-19 substantially changed elements of the educational experience, including social interactions between students and their professors and student study behaviors. Here, we report on three specific aspects of the student experience: (1) student perceptions of online office hours, student perceptions of (2) online and (3) recorded lectures. 

Our data are drawn from a larger, mixed-methods study on student experiences during COVID that was informed by the Weidman framework for socialization. In Summer 2021, we organized 9 focus groups with 40 undergraduate engineering students to provide more context to our survey findings. The interview protocol was designed by constructing prompts related to the constructs in the survey, which consisted of questions about how students framed their experiences with online office hours and lectures, and how they dealt with the resulting challenges. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed inductively. 

Overall, the students found online office hours meaningful, depending on how they were set up. Generic office hour Zoom rooms were found to be more accessible and helpful than office hours where students had to register up front for a 10 minute slot. The online and recorded lectures were highly valued by students. They freed up time students did not have to commute, allowed for making better notes and afforded the students with more flexibility. On the flipside, it prevented students from making meaningful connections with their instructors and fellow students. With the flexibility that these formats and lack of social interaction afforded came the challenge to stay focused and motivated, including structuring time and staying on top of course work.
