The University of Houston Embraces Hybrid Instruction
Another Hybrid Model
Several classes will use a model that requires fewer class meetings for the students but the same number of class meetings for the instructor. For example, a literature class of thirty will be divided into two sections of fifteen. One section of fifteen students will meet with the instructor on Tuesdays and the other section will meet on Thursdays. This will allow for the type of seminar style interaction found so essential for involved and critical discussion of literature. Informal space is being arranged for these seminar sections leaving the classroom free for use by another class. Automated online quizzes will encourage students to read and engage with the assigned texts and the online content before participating in the in-class seminar discussion.
