The findings of the study showed that students' expectations in the elements of curriculum were more than their perceptions, and this difference was more in the elements of Objectives, Content, Teaching and learning strategies, Teaching activities and educational tools, Educational resources and materials, Communication between teachers and students, and Evaluation surpass their perceptions. Also, it was found that the most felt needs of the students in the classification of the Kano model were among the mandatory needs.
