In the fall semester some students may be placed in a new “hybrid” class with online lectures and 10 different professors. Next semester’s PSY 120 class will be split between the traditional lecture hall class and a hybrid course. The hybrid course will involve two hours of lecture a week, recitation and projects. The lectures for the hybrid class are already finished, however. Lectures for this course will be given online by professionals in each field. George Hollich, the director of undergraduate studies for the psychology department, said this will be a great opportunity for students to learn from the top researchers and experts in the various fields of psychology. “The idea is that we have a lot of experts that are doing first class research, not just the one person teaching the class,” Hollich said. “We want to show off all that Purdue is doing.”
