Please see the data below for discussion related to student perception of online and traditional classes offered at UWF. Although this is a small percentage of UWF students, I think the contrasts between online and traditional learning are quite apparent and need to be addressed further. This is something the Faculty Sen continue to address with the Administration to make sure that we are providing the BEST educational experiences for our students.
