Totally disagree(%) Disagree (%) Not sure(%) Agree(%) Totally agree(%) Median IQR
The lack of classical fieldwork has not affected my ability to understand the theory being taught in online classes 33(22.0) 28(18.7) 27(18.0) 37(24.7) 25(16.7) 3 2
Alternative activities have successfully replaced classical fieldwork 40(26.7) 33(22.0) 37(24.7) 26(17.3) 14(9.3) 3 3
Locally organised individual fieldwork could become a viable alternative for the classical fieldwork class (organised for groups of students) 22(14.7) 20(13.3) 35(23.3) 50(33.3) 23(15.3) 3 2
Digital technology (Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Street View, 3D virtual tours) will make classical fieldwork obsolete 58(38.7) 37(24.7) 33(22.0) 15(10.0) 7(4.7) 2 2
I no longer consider classical fieldwork to be necessary 104(69.3%) 25(16.7) 9(6.0) 7(4.7) 5(3.3) 1 1
COVID-19 will completely change the way we do field courses even after the pandemics 27(18.0) 30(20.0) 41(27.3) 32(21.3) 20(13.3) 3 2
