摘要：Introduction: Online assessment is an educational alternative in this health emergency generated by COVID-19. To meet the educational demands of the School of Medicine of the UNAM, we implemented the evaluation of their subjects of the Medical Bachelor online, avoiding the delay of the school career of their students. Methods: A quantitative analysis was conducted to evaluate the academic performance of students enrolled in the first and second year of the degree of Medical Bachelor, being the school years with the highest percentage of failure. Two cohorts of students (2019 vs 2020) in the first and second year of the degree (4,737 students) were analyzed. We compared their school performance in the exams taken in those years (2019 on School premises and 2020 online due to the COVID-19 pandemic) to observe if there was a significant difference through statistical tests according to the distribution of the cohorts. Results: A significant difference was obtained in subjects of both school years according to their school performance. Besides, the percentage of the passing of the 16 subjects in their two evaluations was evaluated, observing that the students of the year 2020 had a higher rate of passing compared to the year 2019, even in those subjects with a higher percentage of failing. Discussion: Our study allowed us to compare the academic performance of our students in two types of examinations, in the School of Medicine and online (because of COVID-19), a situation that will enable us to assess the advantages of this adaptation and a new form of evaluation as a result of the health emergency.
