Blended courses offer best of two worlds - Trey Randolph, the Ranger
Gas prices, traffic and parking can really ruin a pleasant trip to school. Many students are unaware of the availability of alternative learning options such as online and blended courses, which can lessen or even eliminate the need to travel to campus as often. "Blended classes combine the best of face-to-face, and the best of online (learning)," Dr. Carol Keller, history professor, said Sept. 18. in an interview. "Those who survive genuinely (enjoy) it." Blended courses allow students the freedom to work from home while also allowing adequate face-to-face time with teachers to address issues or concerns.
