Students reflections in open-ended questions

Factors	Face-to-face	Distance education
Interaction with peers and faculty	“Communicating with other classmates inspires me to ask questions during class”. (participant 5) “The interpersonal experience, even just seeing other people makes me more aware in a session”. (participant 9) “Interacting with the teacher allowed us to solve doubts as they emerged”. (participant 18)	(no mentions were given to this factor)
Structure and educational environment	“I enjoyed that the class was very visual and it was easy to follow”. (participant 21) “In the course there was bibliography, I knew that if I read it I at least knew the minimum. After that, it was up to me to find out more. Also the teacher guided the session with what we had read, using the diagrams allowed me to integrate the concepts”. (participant 26)	“Classes were recorded and I was able to watch them over again”. (participant 15) “The teacher adapted to an online format very fast, and she seemed interested to make the explanation of the content crystal clear”. (participant 7) “I enjoyed that we translated the diagrams and dynamic explanations that we had in class to keep some kind of normal in the distance setting”. (participant 13)
Emotion and behavior	“I felt that I was involved in the session, and it made me want to participate”. (participant 27) “It made me relax, and I wanted to be ready for class because it was an unrepeatable moment that I needed to take advantage of”. (participant 31)	“I was studying at my bed”. (participant 11) “I felt I got to know more of the teacher and talk about life”. (participant 21) “I felt that the teacher was doing her best. I really liked that and motivated me to put all my effort in and learn more, not by memorizing but learning”. (participant 22)
