Abstract—The recent Coronavirus pandemic had serious impact on many aspects of our lives, and higher-education is not an exemption. In February 2020, more than half-way through the winter 2020 semester, university campuses closed and suddenly, all courses had to be offered virtually. With or without experience with online learning, professors had to quickly adapt to this new teaching environment. To everybody’ surprise, the situation lasted until the summer months of 2022. In September 2022, universities re-opened and in-class teaching resumed. However, there were signs that teaching and learning could not go back to the pre-pandemic settings. In this paper, using a survey instrument administered at the end of nine semesters in a graduate course in a Canadian business school; from pre-pandemic to post pandemic semesters, changes in attitudes towards Managerial Analytics, changes in perceptions towards learning, and changes in the levels of anxiety when facing different situations are identified. The new normal is assessed and found to differ from the pre-pandemic period in many aspects.
