Fifty-four percent of students said it\u2019s \u201csomewhat worse,\u201d and another 25 percent replied it\u2019s \u201csignificantly worse,\u201d for a total of 79 percent.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a senior, my classes were hands-on application stuff by nature. Online, I have learned nothing,\u201d replied one Clemson University student. \u201cMight as well have given me the degree in March.\u201d<\/p>\n
Only 16 percent of college students responded the quality of their education remained the same, 4 percent said it\u2019s somewhat better, and 2 percent said it\u2019s significantly better.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing online has helped me a bunch,\u201d one University of Montana student stated. \u201cI have social anxiety and being online has allowed me to finally participate in class discussions. I can also take my time going through the lectures instead of trying to keep up and missing a bunch of content.\u201d<\/p>\n

The online survey was conducted April 23 and April 24 exclusively for The College Fix<\/em> by College Pulse<\/a>. The sample was drawn from College Pulse\u2019s undergraduate student panel that includes more than 270,000 students representing some 900 different colleges and universities in all 50 states. The margin of error for this survey is +\/- 3.5 percent.<\/p>\n The College Fix\u2019s<\/em> result mirror another poll that asked a similar question.<\/p>\n OneClass polled<\/a> 1,287 students from 45 colleges and universities and asked: \u201cDo you feel like you are receiving a quality e-learning experience from your university\/college since classrooms were closed to students?\u201d In response, 75.5 percent of students responded saying no, they are not receiving a quality e-learning experience from their current school.<\/p>\n As for The College Fix<\/em> poll, in the comments section of the survey students have the option to weigh in on the poll questions. Here are some responses:<\/p>\n Boston University:<\/strong> I used to be a good student who participated in all of my classes (most are small and discussion based) and now I haven\u2019t shown up to a single class in three weeks.<\/p>\n IUP:<\/strong> It’s all class dependent. A few of my professors are still doing routine classes, while others have basically put the powerpoints online and left us to our own devices.<\/p>\n Ohio University:<\/strong> I’ve been taking online classes for a few semesters now. I actually like them more than in-person classes but I seem to be in the minority.<\/p>\n University of Tulsa:<\/strong> Nursing school is not meant to be online!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While most students in various categories answered the question the same way regardless of race, gender, or political affiliation, one anomaly did stand out.<\/p>\n Nearly half of the students surveyed who attend a two-year college responded that the quality of their education has remained the same, and none said it\u2019s gotten better. Fifty-six percent said it\u2019s somewhat worse and only 2 percent said it\u2019s \u201csignificantly worse.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the last week, more universities have announced<\/a> their plans to bring students back to campus this fall with modifications to factor in health and safety protocols.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/twoyearvfouryear.jpg\")
