ABSTRACT
The classroom is an emotional place. The countless hours students spend attending class, completing projects, taking exams, and building social relationships translate into progress towards crucial life goals—holding a degree in education has never been of more personal, social, or financial significance than it is today. Accordingly, it is no wonder that educational settings abound with emotions. In these settings, emotions such as enjoyment of learning, curiosity, interest, hope, pride, anger, anxiety, shame, confusion, frustration, or boredom are frequent, pervasive, manifold, and often intense.
