A Comparative Analysis Of Distance Learning And Traditional Classroom Learning For Mas 602, Mas 603, And Mas 605 At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Mark C. Lyden

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

To be competitive for tuition dollars, ERAU's distance learning program must meet the needs and demands of prospective students. Consideration must be given to the quality of the instruction over a distance compared to the traditional classroom method. The results of this investigation provide additional information vis-a-vis to the quality of the off-campus programs. The group for the study will be 80 traditional university students and 145 distance learning students who have participated in MAS 602, MAS 603, or MAS 605. The descriptive approach was used to investigate this problem. Test and assignment scores of the two groups were examined …
