Abstract
During the COVID-19 period, the sudden change of an alternative mode for an educational delivery had caused difficulties to a majority of students at the higher educational institution for statistics/mathematics courses worldwide. In paper, we aim to find out factors suggested to be influenced by the alternative mode of delivery during COVID-19 period including a delivery of course components, the fairness of assessment and a relative quality difference of an education, an experience of mood swings, a preference of offline mode, a difficulty with access to courses, a family support and the residential difficulty, a financial support, and a financial reliability. Most importantly, we analyze associated components of the fairness of grades that students rated in courses for a quality assurance purpose of statistics/mathematics courses during the COVID-19 crisis. The results of the survey clearly illustrated the dissatisfaction ratings for the fairness of grades and the association with a relative quality difference compared to the offline delivery, thus allowing us to critically think of an improvement of an alternative educational delivery in a continuation of COVID-19 period.
