Abstract

The topic of this article is the research that was carried out at the Opole University of Management and Administration during the pandemic. The aim of the research was to answer the question whether and to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic affected the completion of studies by students of the Opole University of Management and Administration. The analysis included the assessment of students from the last semester in the academic year 2018/2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) and 2019/2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic), as well as the results from the diploma examination, the coefficient of similarity of the works to others in the uniform anti-plagiarism system and the planned date of taking the final examination. The research was conducted using the data analysis method. The results showed that the students who were supposed to graduate in the time when the pandemic started, much more often than their predecessors did not take the final examination and were not able to finish writing their diploma papers. Additionally, they had lower grades in their practical subjects.
