Abstract
There have been many dire predictions about online education sweeping aside traditional universities and revolutionizing higher education. While online education has made a huge impact at the graduate level, it has yet to make much impact at the undergraduate level. While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many universities to go online, there have been many questions on the efficacy of online undergraduate education. There are many arguments put forth that undergraduate students in online education, particularly underprepared and disadvantaged students, underperform and on average experience poor outcomes. In this paper, we investigate whether there is a difference in student performance in the face-to-face and online classes during a normal semester. We then look at student performance during spring 2020 where we had to move online mid semester. Did student performance differ between a normal online course and a traditional face-to-face class that was suddenly switched online?
