Hybrid classes
A hybrid class has fewer in-person class meetings than a face-to-face or web-enhanced course. A portion of the class is delivered online and a portion is delivered on campus in a physical classroom.
What are the benefits of taking hybrid classes?
- Ability to complete college courses while balancing multiple life obligations (work, family, etc.)
- Schedule flexibility for the online portion of the class
- Focus on active learning, hands-on activities and application of knowledge in the classroom
- Shortened time to degree completion
Are hybrid classes right for me?
If you say “yes” to all of these statements, then you may be successful in a hybrid classroom environment.
- I am comfortable using technology and am willing to learn more if the course requires.
- I am self-motivated, self-disciplined and always get my assignments submitted on time.
- I am comfortable communicating with my course instructor and classmates in writing.
- I consider that sharing ideas and working with peers in my class online are good learning experiences and will engage in them actively.
- I understand that hybrid courses are academically as rigorous as traditional courses which require face-to-face meetings every week.
At each PCC campus, we offer hundreds of hybrid courses every term ranging from architecture to women’s studies and everything in-between.
