The research focuses on understanding how the shift to online learning has influenced students' academic performance, including their grades, test scores, attendance, and overall satisfaction. The study also explores the factors that contribute to students' academic performance in online learning environments. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the effect of online classes on academic performance. The review examines studies that have explored the effects of online learning on undergraduate students, the challenges faced during the transition to online classes, and students' perceptions and attitudes towards online learning. The findings suggest a mixed effect of online classes on academic performance, with some students adapting well to the online format while others face challenges. To investigate this topic further, a quantitative research design was employed. Data was collected through surveys/questionnaires to assess students' academic performance, including grades, test scores, and attendance records. Additionally, students' satisfaction with the online learning experience was measured. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis to examine the relationship between online classes and academic performance.
