"Courses with an associated lab can be a natural fit for the hybrid-style approach of one night a week, rather than traditional multiple-evening meetings. We currently structure one course as one-hour lecture/two-hour lab meeting weekly."
"Thanks to video lectures made during COVID, I adapted a structure using those videos as an introduction, followed by a structured Q&A period during the one-hour classroom meeting."
"The one-hour-per-week class meeting also makes for an ideal time to proctor in-person exams, avoiding pitfalls that can happen with online exams."
"By the time they are enrolled, students are far along in their program and have developed key skills needed to be successful in college-level coursework."
A hybrid course structure with one night a week for lectures and labs is effective for teaching organic and biochemistry. The course primarily serves dental hygienists but is open to nursing students. Video lectures created during COVID serve as introductions, followed by Q&A sessions. Hands-on lab activities enhance understanding, and in-person exams are easier to manage. The cohort model supports students, fostering connections and rapport, which is crucial for success in college-level coursework.
