Explanation of a Blended (formally called Hybrid): When a class is listed as a blended that means that there is no lecture component (part) to the class. Students study the textbook on their own (study guides are provided) and all major tests except the final exam are taken online. Students have to come to class to learn and practice skill and have to attend clinical. During class students may ask questions about anything in the textbook they do not understand and instructors will demonstrate and explain skills before they are performed by the students. But the vast majority of time in the classroom is spent on mastering NAI skills. At the end of a blended there is a written final exam that is taken at NCC and a skills final exam that is also taken at NCC.
