What are the benefits of teach student relationship?

Siming, Luo, Niamatullah, Jianying Gap, Dan Xu, and Khurrum Shaf. "Factors Leading to Students' Satisfaction in the Higher Learning Institution." Journal of Education and Practice 6 (2015): n. pag.ERIC. Web. 8 Mar. 2016.

This was a brief article that was focused on factors leading towards student sanctification. The main factors that the article noted was Student Teacher Relationship, Faculty Preparedness, Experiences, and Campus Services and Facilities. Students were given a survey where they were to circle numbers that best corresponded to their feelings about questions. The article concluded that all these variables contributed to student satisfaction, especially Student experiences. The article also found that there was strong relationship between students and teachers.

I do not think this a good source at all. It feels way to broad for what they're investigating. They are looking at four different aspects of campus that within those are very broad. I also do not think experiences are a valid thing to measure. Not all students go through the same experiences but all students have access to teachers, faculty preparedness and campus services. I am very skeptical of this source. It feels very brushed together. It goes into no detail about what any of these categories are about or what they provide to students. It is an ill writ article. This source does not help me answer the question above. I question this articles validity very much. It is to brief. There it little to no explanation.

This source is in stasis with the previous article about student teacher relationships in that it lessens drop out rates. This source goes into a bit about student satisfaction however this satisfaction for more of a traditional course rather than online. I do not think in any way does the article bring anything new to the table.

I still want to look more into this question. I have requested an article from the library and hopefully I get that soon. I also want to look into what is the type of student who is taking an online course and also work on a survey for  current students. I am getting towards idea that in terms of content traditional and online are the same but I think there is something missing from the face to face. Students are not as well motivated or supported and they cannot develop professional relationships wiht their professors which most students need to get a successful job.
