Abstract

Abstract We compare student performance before and during the Covid-19 pandemic using three course outcome measures: grades, scores on standardized course-specific assessment tests, and the incidence of dropping, withdrawing, or earning a grade of F. Across 10,000 observations and all business disciplines, grades trended higher throughout pandemic, although student performance on assessment tests and the incidence of failing or dropping remained unchanged. This suggests that universities and employers who use GPA as a screening tool should be cautious. First-year and first-generation students did significantly worse in online courses when compared to courses with some in-person element, suggesting that universities and instructors may need to devote academic support resources to these subgroups.

新冠肺炎大流行期间商学院的成绩、评估分数和课程退学

摘要我们使用三种课程结果指标比较了新冠肺炎大流行前和大流行期间的学生表现：成绩、标准化课程特定评估测试的分数，以及辍学、退学或获得F分的发生率。在10000次观察和所有商业学科中，整个大流行期间的成绩呈上升趋势，尽管学生在评估测试中的表现以及失败或辍学的发生率保持不变。这表明，使用GPA作为筛选工具的大学和雇主应该谨慎。与一些面对面的课程相比，一年级和第一代学生在在线课程中的表现明显较差，这表明大学和讲师可能需要将学术支持资源投入到这些小组中。
