Abstract
The last three years of university education at various levels were strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, such as online courses, lack of adequate preparation of entering freshmen for university work, and frequent absences due to the disease or related personal issues of the learners. This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on student performance in a university logic class using one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post-hoc tests. Final course grades from five semesters between 2020 and 2022 were analyzed to assess differences in online and in-person instruction. We find that there was a significant difference between semesters as determined by one-way ANOVA. A Tukey post-hoc test revealed that final course grades were significantly lower after the transition to online instruction and did not significantly increase following the return to in-person instruction. There was no significant difference between semesters during online instruction. We present our results that demonstrate a lasting effect of COVID-19 on student performance.
