Abstract
Last week, we were solving a problem using algebra in one of my classes. The students said what they always do, “Professor Wright, we have never seen that before.” I chuckled, and said “well, you saw it when you were studying for the SATs.” The room went completely quiet. I stood there for a moment, looking around the room. During COVID, there was a drop in the number of students who took the SATs.11 I thought about that carefully for a moment and then began going through the algebra step by step.So where do we go from here? A review in Psychology, Learning, and Teaching recommends five considerations when students transition to university during COVID12
