Objective: The aim of the research was to examine the opinion of students about online classes. The hypothesis was that the majority of students think that online teaching is a better way than traditional teaching in direct face-to-face contact with professors and colleagues. Study design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using an online questionnaire during August 2022. Respondents and methods: The research was conducted on a sample of first- and second-year students of the Graduate university study Nursing, Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health Osijek. The data was collected using an online survey compiled for the purposes of this research. The main outcome was the response to the statement: "Online teaching is a better way of teaching than traditional teaching in a lecture hall", to which respondents responded on an ordinal scale with five categories. The hypothesis was tested using a one-way sign test and a binomial test after students' answers were grouped into two categories: agree and undecided or disagree. Results: We enrolled 63 respondents, 87 % of whom were women, and the response rate was 35 %. A one-way sign test determined that the median response to the statement that online teaching is better than traditional was not statistically significantly higher than 3, which would indicate a preference for online teaching (P = 0.05). 28 (44 %) respondents believed that online teaching is better. The majority of students were satisfied with the organization of online classes, although technical difficulties are relatively common for both students and teachers. Conclusion: There is no evidence that graduate nursing students prefer online classes, but there are no relevant barriers to conducting online classes neither. Online classes in this population are not associated with additional costs.
