The pandemic forced a shift from traditional to online learning, leading to various emotional responses among students. However, there is limited understanding of how these emotional responses impact students’ engagement and learning satisfaction in the Malaysian context. A survey of 121 students revealed mixed feelings. While some appreciated the flexibility and comfort of learning from home, others faced anxiety, boredom, and challenges with maintaining focus and motivation. The study found that students enjoyed certain aspects of online learning, such as recorded lectures, but struggled with engagement and technical issues.
