Abstract

Since the emergence of the Corona Virus 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak which is a type of pneumonia virus caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, the government has taken policies to prevent its spread, namely by appealing to the public to stay at home, avoid crowds, keep their distance, reduce activities outside including shopping centers. Online learning is learning that is not done face-to-face but learning that can be done anywhere and anytime by utilizing electronic technology and internet networks to facilitate the learning process. However, with this change in learning, it certainly has an impact on education, especially in higher education. There are several factors that affect students' academic achievement in implementing online learning, such as not all students may have equal access to computer devices, inadequate internet connections or learning environments, reducing interaction between students and lecturers, the quality of learning materials presented is less effective so that it can affect students' understanding and focus on learning. Based on empirical facts, it was found that the academic achievement of students at Iskandar Muda University, especially the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, is said to be not in accordance with what is expected by Lecturers and students. Student academic achievement has decreased relatively because many students still find it difficult to understand the online learning methods that have been set by the University. In addition, many students are also negligent or not serious in implementing the online learning method.
