Online/Classroom Hybrid Courses

Department of Computer Science will offer the following courses with "hybrid" sections in Summer 2006.

1.	Fundamentals of Software Engineering (COSC4351) by Professor Venkat Subramaniam
2.	Interactive Computer Graphics (COSC4370) by Professor Olin Johnson
3.	Introduction to Computer Networks (COSC4377) by Professor Jaspal Subhlok

The hybrid courses will have the following basic structure:

1.	The hybrid class will meet once a week according to the published schedule for quizzes, exams, specific discussions, tutorials demonstrations, and hands on work sessions.
2.	Tablet PC based recorded lectures from the regular classroom sections will be made available as streaming video through VNet (vnet.uh.edu).
3.	The instructors will be available during office hours and by appointment for individual consultations.

Hybrid sections are part of a pilot project of the Computer Science Department to offer a series of courses that offer students considerable flexibility but do not sacrifice the personal interaction that is also important for learning. The course may be particularly suitable for students who have logistical difficulty reaching the campus, perhaps because of work. Additional hybrid sections will be offered in coming semesters with an initial emphasis on senior level electives.
