In 2019, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to quarantining, social distancing, and self-isolation. Due to these measures in the United States, education became virtual, widening the education gap due to socioeconomic class, language, or special needs. COVID-19 also decreased communication by decreasing face-to-face interactions between students and teachers. This study will investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on General Chemistry I and II students from a rural university through a statistical analysis of final exam performance between 2016 and 2022.
