Abstract
This article aims to examine how the assessment and evaluation process used by lecturers during the covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted from May to July 2020, with online surveys given to 6 Districts in East Java Province (Tapal Kuda) through social media such as WhatsApp and Telegram, with random system assisted by Google Form. A total of 14 lecturers filled out online sheets spread across 4 districts of East Java Province, Indonesia. Mobile phones are used to further interview informant answers on google form. Qualitative approaches with descriptive techniques are used to broaden the discussion. The findings of this study explain the assessment used by lecturers during the covid-19 pandemic is still traditional by using essays, multiple choices, questionnaires without the use of electronic assessments. However, in the assessment there are various problems, such as poor internet access that impacts the absence of students, incomprehension of the material on the assignment, and the low understanding of the students on the social media applications usage. To solve the problem of assessment, the average lecturer overcomes it by communicating directly to students or parents via mobile phone that can still be used to all corners of remote village. This proves that in rural areas with lack of internet access, communication between educators and students can use mobile phones to help prose learning.
