In the Spring of 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many colleges and universities transitioned to a new modality of teaching that we refer to as `emergency remote teaching' (ERT). As ERT is likely to continue through the Spring of 2021, we seek to learn about the student experience with ERT in order to better inform ERT instruction. Building from student responses to a survey administered in the Spring of 2020, in this talk we discuss the development of and student responses to a new ERT survey administered in the Fall of 2020 and sent to hundreds of physics departments across the US. We asked students to share their experiences with lectures, labs, exams, and other elements ERT in their physics courses to hear from students about what worked well (and what didn't), and what got better since ERT in the Spring (and what got worse).
