A hybrid course must consist of more than 50% in-person instruction. This means that you cannot complete the course entirely online. You will need to be in a location that allows you to visit campus or a designated learning location frequently, as determined by the professor. This structure allows for a combination of in-class learning and online activities, fostering flexibility while maintaining essential face-to-face interactions.

In the 150 minutes of instruction each week (for 3-hour courses), in hybrid courses, at least 80 minutes of classes, labs, meetings, and/or events weekly throughout the semester will be in person.

In-person is a face-to-face interaction on campus or in a designated learning location.

Hybrid courses can have asynchronous and synchronous interactions as part of the instructors' learning strategies. These do not count toward the 80 minutes of face-to-face instruction.

Online courses are conducted entirely through online platforms. They do not require any location-dependent (in-person) attendance. This modality is designed for students who prefer to learn at their own pace and schedule. You will engage with course materials, participate in discussions, and submit assignments, all through an online learning management system, such as Canvas. This may also include prerecorded video lectures and live synchronous video lectures.

While online courses are fully remote, they can still incorporate different learning strategies, including asynchronous and synchronous learning. Asynchronous learning allows you to complete assignments at your convenience, while synchronous learning involves real-time classes or discussions.

In-person courses require students to attend classes physically on campus or a location determined by the professor. This traditional model engages students through direct interaction with instructors and peers. Classes typically follow a set schedule, and students are expected to participate actively in discussions and group activities.

As with online courses, in-person courses can utilize both asynchronous and synchronous strategies. For example, instructors may assign online resources for students to study at their own pace while also holding live class sessions for discussions, lectures, or activities.
