Course Instruction Modes
Course Instruction Modes
UHD offers five instruction modes that outline the class format and how you will participate in course over the term. As a student, you have options when building your class schedule. You can choose classes in a variety of instruction modes for a given session. These instruction modes determine if the course will be conducted face-to-face, online, or in a hybrid format.

The instructor and students all meet in the same physical location at the same scheduled time. This is typically a traditional classroom.
A hybrid class combines face-to-face learning in the classroom with online learning that students complete outside of scheduled classroom time.
Example of a 3 hour course: Students attend class in-person on-campus at a scheduled time for 1.5 hours and the remaining 1.5 hours are completed online without scheduled times.
