Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This method proved to have its own limitations. In addition, communication was held to a large extent with class representatives exclusively, which left many students feeling that communication was insufficient and wishing they had received information first hand. In contrast, initiatives held by some faculty that took advantage of alternative methods of communication such as synchronous chats or asynchronous forums were highly praised. Pedagogical coherence: This aspect was highlighted above all by students, many of whom expressed the difficulty in relating some of the activities proposed to the corresponding learning objectives. Consequently, pedagogical coherence scored low in the survey (2.6/5). A similar perception was observed regarding the weight or impact of certain tasks in the evaluation process. Learning Outcomes: Faculty and students both expressed the subjective feeling that they accomplished less through distance learning than in face-to-face interaction (63% in the student survey). This perception was related to challenges met in various areas, such as planning, coordination and coherence. Teachers and students both agreed that, for at least some competences, this less favorable learning experience could have been more related to the sudden switch due to the crisis itself rather than the limitations associated with the online methods. Despite this perception, the scores obtained in the final exams following the online teaching experience have not changed signif...
