We will present a study on the success of first-year university students taking an introductory marketing class between Summer 2008 and Winter 2009 semesters. Our study tracked 373 first-year undergraduate students that had the same professor for these two semesters. Results of comparative studies examining online or in-class teaching demonstrate there is no difference between both methods. The results of our findings show there are no significant results between both samples. However, students who evaluated in-class courses, reacted more favorably than their online counterparts.
