Abstract

A student survey was conducted in the fall of 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and summer and fall of 2023, after the end of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declaration. The results of this survey aim to increase an understanding of community college students’ preferences of class modality as they relate to the wider context of their lives. A total of 607 responses were collected on student’s preferred class modality. The findings demonstrate a preference for asynchronous courses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison, the survey showed that after the end of the declaration of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), there was a preference for synchronous courses instead of asynchronous.
