- Dataset Summary: This dataset studies the main challenges that students in these institutions faced during the transition from face-to-face (f2f) to remote mode of instruction and the resources that they used to minimize these adversities. 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. Below is the questionnaire used for this study: Survey Questionnaire: Transition to Remote Instruction During COVID-19 Crisis: Qualtrics Link for POL1080: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd7cF1OF6eNeYBv Qualtrics Link for POL2074: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3xegnXy4LFSC2t7 1.
