Hundreds of BYU students have noticed a decrease in motivation after COVID-19 shut down a lot of normal routines without warning.
Online classes, as well as the lack of personal interaction with peers and professors, are some reasons they feel less motivated in their school work.
Several students admitted they noticed a sense of decreased motivation during Fall Semester 2020. In a poll on The Daily Universe’s Instagram account, 413, or 85%, of the 485 respondents said they felt their motivation decreased when classes moved online.
