In Hybrid classes, part of the class is online and the other part is in person. The hybrid class fits the criteria for everything while the teacher student relationship and student relationships are hurt by the part online course.
Hybrid classes fit the criteria for class participation. Class participation is encouraged in a hybrid class because the class is not extremely large. The student body is small enough where the teacher can demand the students to participate (Jones, page 59). The in person part of the class is where the participation is needed. Hybrid classes include small group work in which students can talk about issues. Hybrid classes also let students respond to each others work online which helps in participating. The small groups give the students a voice because the teacher can ask the students to discuss an issue (Carleton, page 703). The teacher would not be able to do this by himself because he would not be able to get an answer from every student.
Hybrid classes fit the criteria of students and the teachers building a relationship because the in-person part of the class gives off for questions. Classes are small enough that the teacher can answer all of the students questions. The student sees that the teacher is not “there for the paycheck” and want the students to learn (Jacobson, page 65). Students are more than a face in hybrid classes and develop a relationship with the teacher. Hybrid classes are small enough that the teacher is able to see if the student missed class and could send an email asking why the student missed (Jacobson, page 64). The teacher can discover how the student learns and can teach content in a way that the student understands (Jacobson, page 55). Online, students are paired into groups to peer review work. The student can also ask questions via email but the email is more personal than in the online classes because the student and teacher already have developed a relationship in person.
The issues and debates fit the criteria because of the small groups. These small groups help in developing public speaking because the students argue about issues (Carleton, page 703). The group work adds in the small class component with the large class. Group work is dangerous because students can become lazy and let one or two students handle to load. In hybrid classes, the student must be able to work in a group but also work by himself individually. The online work of the class hurts the relationship with the teacher. The student builds a relationship with the teacher by going from a name to a face. The student cannot go to a face if he can only see the teacher once a week.
The in-person work fits the criteria of building friendships because students can participate in group work and projects together. Talking about issues and discussing things help build friendship (Myers). The online course hurts with making friends because online work is very individual which takes away from working with a group and friends.
