Abstract
This study focuses on the level of self-confidence and anxiety of students in participating in online thesis defense. We distributed questionnaires to all participants in the thesis examination at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education UHAMKA with a total of 236 respondents. We used a Likert scale in our questionnaire model. From the results of the questionnaire, after we calculated and analyzed, several conditions were obtained for the students’ anxiety and self-confidence. We found that 64% (medium category) of students had anxiety when determining the research theme, while only 32% (low category) of students had anxiety during the writing of their thesis. Meanwhile, only 28% (low category) experienced anxiety during their defense. At the same time, we found that their self-confidence was in the medium category with a percentage of 60% when determining the research theme and in the high category with a percentage of 80% and 85% respectively during the thesis and the defense. This shows that there is a good campus academic atmosphere that exists, as shown by many scientific discussions regarding final assignments between students and students and between students and thesis supervisors and academic advisors
