A hybrid course is one in which part of the classes are conducted face-to-face and part of them are conducted online, usually in a 50/50 split. What are some advantages and disadvantages of hybrid classes?
+ Fewer live class meetings to make a tough schedule worse
+ Great when you already have solid prior knowledge of the material
+ Flexibility
+ Compromise for those who like online courses
+ Good for some general education courses that are mostly lecture based
+ Great for highly motivated students with good self-discipline
- Fewer live class meetings to clear up confusion and get examples
- Not ideal for less motivated students with lower self-discipline
- Less group interaction and spontaneous learning moments
- Probably not a good idea for classes in your major or classes where hands-on learning is required
