This unprecedented move spurred emerging academic literature dealing primarily with the medical aspect of education in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. (Chick et al, 2020; Greenhalgh et al 2020, Keesara et al, 2020; Schwartz et al, 2020) with very little attention to educational implications in other areas such as social sciences. This study aims to fill this gap. \r\nThe aims of this study is to evaluate the impact of transition to remote instruction during Spring Semester 2020 in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students are asked to complete an anonymous survey. The survey includes questions dealing with various adversities that respondents had to endure during the transition and resources that they used in the aftermath of the transition. The goal is to provide recommendation for best policies and practices for remote instruction.

In order learn about their experiences during this transition, I surveyed at the end of the Spring Semester students enrolled in two Political Science (POL) classes. The results showed that majority of students struggled with stress caused by moving away from campus and self-quarantine leading to deteriorating mental and physical health. Concerns about student health along with distraction at home were identified as top adversities for student well-being. Survey results also showed that educational resources can have varying impact on student learning in introductory and upper-level courses. For example, lecture notes, power point presentations and online videos can be better resources for remote instruction in an introductory class, while class meetings via video conferencing platforms can be the preferred resource of instruction in upper-level courses.\r\nBelow is the questionnaire used for this study: \r\n\r\nSurvey Questionnaire: Transition to Remote Instruction During COVID-19 Crisis:\r\nQualtrics Link for POL1080: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd7cF1OF6eNeYBv\r\nQualtrics Link for POL2074: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3xegnXy4LFSC2t7\r\n1.
