Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, due to the global spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The Covid-19 pandemic caused many schools all over the world to switch to virtual learning. Many students had to quickly learn how to navigate through their virtual education. This study investigated whether previous experience with online coursework and students’ study habits relate to their grades in a virtual undergraduate course during the pandemic. California State University Channel Islands participants (N = 632) completed an online survey. Students reported whether they had previous experience with online courses and completed five different study habits subscales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire assessing monitoring, regulation, help-seeking, and time/environment management. Students’ final grades were pulled from the university database. A multiple linear regression was calculated to predict course grades based on previous online course experience and reported use of monitoring, regulation, help-seeking, and time/environment management. A significant regression equation was found (F(5,592) = 10.924, p < .001), with an R2 of .084. Both monitoring and help-seeking were significant positive predictors of course grades.
