Abstract

Everybody knows very well about the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown, and its impacts and effects on every field of life, from childhood to senior citizens, from local to global. The underlying research study focuses on students' involvement in online classes. This paper assesses the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the students' participation and involvement during online classes compared to the physical classes, cheating behavior, health effects, and study styles of the students of diverse degrees and age groups. This research study contributes to the real problems and challenges that students faced during online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The percentages of the students' responses with different color schemes shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig.3(a), Fig.3(b) and Fig.4 are conveying powerful and meaningful insight. These figures and the results given in Table I and Table II indicate that most students are not fully involved during online classes due to technical issues, remote distance, etc. We applied the Test here because we do not have exact population means. We used ttest_1samp with default value 0 to compute the variables' statistics and p-value. These values are minimal in favor of rejecting the null or H0 (hypothesis) and accepting the alternate or H1 (hypothesis). It further means that students' involvement during online classes is severely affected.
