Essential Inputs to Evaluation the B-Learning Undergraduate Programme in Environmental Sciences

Abstract

The undergraduate programme in Environmental Sciences (UPES) have a higher contribution to sustainability and produce better-educated graduates in sustainability areas. To evaluate the UPES, two questionnaires were applied: (a) to the students who dropout; and (b) to the graduates. Also, a student satisfaction questionnaire was used that obtained very positive answers about the experience with online teaching, the coordination team and have very positive general satisfaction of UPES. It was found that most students dropped without doing any course, which may indicate that they have not adapted to this type of Online Education. The positive and negative aspects presented by the dropouts were very dispersed, which reveals that they did not know UPES deeply. Mostly graduates work in the environmental and related areas and have move up their professional careers. The positive and negative aspects among graduates revealed greater knowledge and involvement in UPES, showing, in addition to a good study plan, proximity and collaboration between students and teachers.
