What is a Hybrid Class
We will have in-person class meetings each week, but you will find your readings and submit most of your assignments in Canvas. Ideally, this brings you the best of both worlds by giving you the flexibility to do assignments on your own schedule for most of the week, but then we will also have a chance to connect each week and make sure that you are successful in your studies.
