Modes of Instruction

Classes are divided into three categories:

  • primarily in-person,
  • a mix between in-person and remote, and
  • fully online.

We think you’ll find that each of these approaches has challenges and advantages, and each allows greater flexibility and possibilities than one might first imagine.
