This survey assessed the perceptions of students in the spring semester, 1984, about characteristics of and courses in the University of North Carolina's Physical Education Activities Program and obtained their suggestions for changes in the program. Frequency data and percentages were reported for each response on the 64-item questionnaire along with analysis of the data by year in college and gender. The majority of students were generally to extremely satisfied with the overall program, evaluated the quality of instruction as above average or excellent, preferred 1 -hour classes twice a week for one semester in the same activity, liked having a letter or pass/fail grading option, and supported the university's two-course and swim-test requirements. Individual sports and fitness courses were the preferred offerings. Responses were consistent across years in college and gender.
