Abstract

Following the global outbreak of COVID-19, educational institutions worldwide have rapidly switched to online learning. As a result, online evaluation and assessment have become the norm during this period. The main aim of this research is to investigate the experiences of Indonesian English as a foreign language (EFL) university student with online emergency learning and assessment, and to compare their perceptions of online assessment to face-to-face assessment. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 150 Indonesian EFL university students. The findings indicated that students encountered technical difficulties while submitting their exams and were dissatisfied with the lack of feedback from their lecturers. In addition, students expressed concerns about academic honesty, leading to a loss of interest in their studies and doubts about reliving this unsatisfactory experience. Therefore, the study suggests that online assessment should be given more attention in higher education in Indonesia, as this unprecedented experience has had a negative impact on students and left them dissatisfied with distance learning and apprehensive about their future educational experiences.
