Question

The delivery method of each class section can be categorized in one of three ways: completely face-to-face (F2F), completely online (100% Online), or a blend of those two, generally referred to as Hybrid. Classes can also be synchronous, meaning they meet at a set date and time, or asynchronous, meaning that while there is no set meeting time, work is done according to the deadlines in the syllabus. You may locate the section's delivery method in the Schedule of Classes, or on your registration by clicking on the title of the class in Patriot Web.
