A questionnaire of sociodemographic, academic, and labor variables was used, with the scale of satisfaction with virtual courses (SVC-S). A descriptive and bivariate analysis was carried out; as for the results, 25,2% were dissatisfied and 74,8% were satisfied with taking their classes through the virtual modality.
