Experiences with Online Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic–Stricken Semester

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that bursted out this year, online education has become a main type of education and an entire education system was forced to make a switch from classrooms to World Wide Web. The impact of the students receiving education online for the entire semester on their final grade was analysed and the results are shown in the paper. These results are obtained by analysing the academic course Mathematical Analysis 2, held online at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in the summer semester of 2020. Furthermore, the number of views of the lectures in relation to the time left until the final exam was checked in order to investigate the students' studying habits. Unsurprisingly, the most noticeable effect here is the last minute cramming. Nevertheless, the overall results show the pros and cons of online education, as well as the huge potential that online education has, even when performed at the current state.
