What is it about?
What are the factors that influence a student doing well during the pandemic and remote learning? From this study conducted during the pandemic we found that student expectations of how they would fare in a remote class versus a face to face class served as a self-fulfilling prophecy of their learning in that class. Self-efficacy and the match between preferred format were significant factors.

Why is it important?
With more remote teaching on the horizon, adjusting to student needs during the pandemic can improve learning.
Perspectives
While there is a lot written about how bad the pandemic is for learning, our findings show that there are some students who do well. Teaching a large class remotely, I found that some students benefit from the format and I have picked up some strategies I will use when we return to face to face teaching.
