Abstract
The reason why a specific subject is chosen by the students has been frequently interpreted from several points of view. The aim of this study is to analyze the reasons why different types of subjects with particular characteristics are chosen. Specifically, two of these subjects are free electives: one of them �Fotoprotección- is imparted through the Andalusian Virtual Campus, and the other one �Aplicación de la Tecnología Farmacéutica en el tratamiento del cáncer y del dolorthrough the virtual campus of the University of Granada. The third subject chosen is optional - Farmacia Práctica- and it is at present imparted within the Degree in Pharmacy. The different reasons why a student chooses one subject against other have been analyzed using one of the most used tools: an anonymous survey to all the students enrolled. The conclusions of this study are diverse, but it is mainly to be remarked in the case of the virtual subjects their accessibility and easy implementation as well as the importance of an attractive title for the selection of a subject. The main reason in the case of the optional subject is to learn something new in relation to their Degree, followed very closely by its timetable. Therefore, as final conclusion, it is interesting to remark that the students want in both cases to learn something attractive that can be easily adapted to their study schedule.
