Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education announced in early March 2020 that all universities’ teaching and learning (TL) processes must be conducted entirely online until the end of the year to prevent Covid-19 from spreading. This change has drastically altered the way teachers teach and students learn, and as a result, the impact on both lecturers and students has been enormous. This study aimed to compare students’ performance in the Introduction to Entrepreneurship (ENT300) subject at UiTM Cawangan Terengganu when using an online learning approach as against a traditional face-to-face approach. Many scholars agreed that the face-to-face approach is more effective and gives students more fulfilment than the online method because students prefer to see and hold paper-based reading material and the satisfaction derived from experiencing the lessons live. This descriptive study data was taken from two different learning approaches, face to face and online distance learning (ODL) classes, and the results showed that students’ performance is better when lessons are conducted face to face, proving that the difference in teaching and learning approach has an effect on the students’ grades.

This paper focus on examining the relationship between TQM (Total Quality Management) elements and service performance to students in public higher learning institutions. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the elements of TQM in achieving excellent service performance to students in public higher learning and the most dominant element. The public institutions of higher learning involved in this study are UiTM Kota Bharu, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, and University Malaya. In this study, the service performance indicators involved are academic performance, facilities, technology, faculty, transportation, and accommodation whereas the elements of TQM are management support, continuous improvement, training and education, and customer focus. The data have been analyzed using the descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings of this research indicated that customer focus is the most important element of TQM in achieving excellent service performance for students at public higher learning institutions. The findings also indicated that the TQM element 'management support' have a weak relationship with the service performance to students. This may be due to all three institutions involved in this study are branch campuses.
