This course also offers the students a modern method of learning through the Blended-learning program. With blended learning, students are given the opportunity to learn by themselves via a partially online designed course syllabus, where parts of the required course hours are done by the student at home, via the internet instead of physically coming to class. This not only gives the students more time to interact and collaborate with other students (through online discussion forums and meetings outside class), but also helps students discover their own personalized leaning style.
