Sometimes students sign up for a hybrid course because they see that it meets for fewer hours per week, and they think that it will be less work than an in-person class. This is not true.

Hybrid courses meet for less time each week because most of the learning takes place online:

In-Person Portion

15% of learning happens in the classroom

Online Portion

85% of learning happens online, doing things like:

• Watching instructional videos

• Reading course notes

• Taking your own notes

• Reading the textbook

• Participating in online discussions

• Participating in study groups

• Getting help with the Math Lab TAs (this can be online or in-person)

If you're considering signing up for a hybrid course, make sure to allocate enough time, have strong time-management skills, and feel confident with self-directed learning.
