Abstract

Sentimental analysis is a simple natural language processing technique for classifying and identifying the sentiments and views represented in a source text. Corona pandemic has shifted the focus of education from traditional classrooms to online classes. Students’ mental and psychological states alter as a result of this transition. Sentimental study of the opinions of online education students can aid in understanding the students’ learning conditions. During the corona pandemic, only, students enrolled in online classes were surveyed. Only, students who are in college for pre-graduation, graduation, or post-graduation were used in this study. To grasp the pupils’ feelings, machine learning models were developed. Using the dataset, we were able to identify and visualize the students’ feelings. Students’ favorable, negative, and neutral opinions can be successfully classified using machine learning algorithms. The Naive Bayes method is the most accurate method identified. Logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, and random forest these algorithms also gave comparatively good accuracy.
