Distance Learning vs. Hybrid Courses

Distance Learning (DL) at its most basic level takes place when teachers and students are
separated by physical distance and/or time. Distance learning options make it easy and
convenient for students to take classes even if the student can't get to campus. These courses
contain the same content as the on-campus offerings but are often available in an anytime anywhere format. 

Online web-based courses deliver content and communicate completely via the
Internet, usually through the Blackboard Learning System course management system,
but in some cases, on remote sites hosted by publishers. Students are expected to have
access to an Internet-connected computer and basic technical skills.

Blended, or Hybrid, courses (in the context of distance learning) combine primarily online
content delivery with a limited number of on-campus meetings. It is expected that faculty
clearly state the required on-campus time expected of students in the course requirements. 

All in-person courses are Hybrid – this means that while you will meet on campus, you will also have online requirements to fulfill. Please check your schedules closely and be sure to check with your instructor.

Psychology Textbook Policy

Textbooks should not be purchased ahead of time for any Psychology courses. Texts are assigned for each course, but instructors will give directions on the first day the class meets regarding textbooks. The Psychology Department uses Inclusive Access for all Psychology courses offered, which means the textbook cost is included in your course fees. The textbook should be available to all students on the first day of classes through the publisher platform.

Psychology Updates

General Psychology -- is a four (4) credit course. All on-campus PSYC 2010 courses will be a hybrid course.
