The pie charts below show the different types of courses, which were followed by the 
students during the years of 1984, 1994 and 2004. Summarize the information by 
selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given pie charts compare the ways in which students studied in 1984, 1994 and 2004. It 
is clear that some methods gained popularity while others lost popularity.
In 1984, face-to-face courses were most popular with two thirds (67%) of the students opting 
for such courses. A fifth (20%) of the students studied through correspondence courses and 
the least number (13%) opted for mixed media courses.
In 1994, the popularity of correspondence courses did not change. Mixed media courses 
gained slight popularity with 2% more students opting for them. Face to face method 
decreased by 13% and in their place online courses were opted by 11% students. 
In 2004, the popularity of mixed media courses more than doubled and 35% students 
enrolled in such courses. Face to face courses reduced further and 40% students chose such 
courses in 2004.
Overall, it can be seen that with the passage of time fewer students chose face-to-face 
method, but the multimedia courses were chosen by more and more students.
