About a hybrid course
Hybrid course can be taken by students who cannot meet in classes on a regular basis. This kind of course is good for students who work and/or live in the surrounding areas (Tallahassee). The faculty/department chair decides how many face-to-face classes are needed. Students with good study skills and who have a mature work ethic are good candidates for these kinds of courses.
About distance course
Distance course is essentially needs no face-to-face meetings. This kind of course is good for students that are at a far distance from campus and/or have jobs that keep them from meeting the class schedule. Students with good study skills and who have a mature work ethic are good candidates for these kinds of courses. Testing in a distance course is done at proctored locations (must be arranged by faculty) or the test can be designed to test for understanding of concepts and critical thinking as opposed to basic knowledge of facts, i.e. true/false, multiple choice and fill-in the blank.
