Research Proposal

  Mohil Patel Professor Goeller Research in Discipline: College! February 26, 2021 Research Proposal Working Title: Should Universities Continue to Implement Online Learning During Covid  Topic My topic focuses on the impact that covid has on Universities. Specifically, it deals with the two important decisions that colleges have to make when deciding to start their school year during the CoronaVirus: either to stay fully online or to bring students to the campus. Although this may have never been a concern a year ago, this important choice that the colleges will make will not leave anytime soon. My paper will compare the issues that in-person education might put onto universities and students during corona with the issues that online education might put onto students and educators. In addition to that, I will discuss how certain factors that might influence this decision and how much weight this decision will hold on universities in the future to come. Research Question Does education

Research Question and 3 Sources

As the Corona Virus had begun to unfold across the world and had eventually reached America, colleges were forced to make a decision about keeping their colleges open or transitioning to online college. Keeping the campuses open could put both students and staff at risk of getting the virus. Transitioning to an online atmosphere could hinder the college staff’s ability to effectively communicate ideas to students while also hindering students’ ability to learn. Should colleges choose to keep their campuses open or closed during this pandemic? What consequences does each choice have on colleges, staff, and students (and family)? 1. Heo, J., Han, S.

Scouting the Territory

 1. My topic hasn't changed from what it was previously. I am still trying to research more about how Covid has impacted college. 2. Some of the key terms I used when searching up what Corona had impacted were student mental health, college education, college tuition and finances, college staff. I can also look at a more previously overlooked effect which is the impact of the corona virus on college hygene (more use/implementation of hand sanitizer, masks, etc.) 3. College Admission During Covid - by Robert Frank is a good source of information for my topic. It shows how Covid may have impacted students' approach to choosing the college that is best for them. Covid has not only impacted where a student should go for college, but it has also impacted what major they should choose. Furthermore, there are other factors such as course load which come into play when talking about remote-learning or in-person learning. 4. I can try comparing the pros and cons of Corona's impact o
