Perceptions of education during COVID‐19 among agronomy, soil, and environmental science students

ABSTRACT: Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic required changes in college course delivery, which may influence student perceptions of their education. We examined those perceptions among Students of Agronomy, Soil, and Environmental Sciences (SASES). The goals were to determine how changes in education during the COVID‐19 pandemic (a) changed student perceptions of online education, (b) shifted student comfort with online education and communication, and (c) highlighted issues limiting student success. A link to an online survey was sent to SASES members in late 2020 resulting in 31 responses. Course format shifted from mostly face‐to‐face delivery to synchronous and asynchronous online delivery following the COVID‐19 shutdown. Students perceived decreased instructor effort and increased student effort.
