Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many universities worldwide have switched from face-to-face to online learning to finish the academic year. This resulted in numerous adjustments and challenges for both teachers and students. In addition to learning to use unfamiliar online media and teaching tools, they had to adjust to new methods of interaction, modify learning tasks and activities, and change the way of testing and assessment. Under this circumstance, success, understandably enough, is not always be guaranteed. This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of teaching Interpreting online during Covid-19 crisis. By means of a survey questionnaire, the study aims to investigate students’ reflections on the success of the online Interpreting classes. The findings reveal that, while the majority of students expressed general satisfaction, there are still some issues that need to be addressed. The findings have pedagogical implications for future attempts to teach interpreting online more effectively.
