Abstract	Online Students miss out on experiences that face-to-face classes offer which allows the connection between them with faculty and other students. Regardless, online education appears to be the darling of higher education leadership likely because it represented nearly three quarters of all enrollment increases last year. However, there is a gap in research regarding the human factor probably due to lack of measurability of the subject. The primary objective of this paper is to measure how the separation of teacher and student in online courses influences the student's perception of the quality of instruction. To measure students' perception, a survey based upon six statements was given to both face-to-face (FTF) and online as well as undergraduate and graduate. In every case, there was a significant difference in the means between online students and FTF students (both FTF and online undergraduate students plus FTF and online graduate students). This difference plainly favored FTF instruction for both undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, of the six statements, the data demonstrated that instructor availability is the primary missing factor in online courses. (As Provided).
