Hybrid classes
Hybrid courses are on-campus classes with a significant portion of the material offered electronically. Hybrid courses meet approximately half of the time in a traditional face-to-face classroom environment with the remainder of the course presentation, interaction, activities and exercises delivered through various electronic means (online, WebCT/Vista, and/or video formats). You should expect to spend at least as much time engaged in course activities as in a traditional class even though you will not be in the classroom for all of it.
