Modes of Instruction
MCC offers courses in a variety of formats or modes. Each mode provides different opportunities for learning so you can select the format that suits your learning style.
Need structure? In-person courses provide a schedule to meet with your instructor and classmates. Flexible Lecture courses allow you to participate in class in person or remotely using a video conferencing platform.
Self-motivated? Online courses provide flexibility. Scheduled Online courses give you the chance to meet with your class and instructors, but virtually from anywhere. With Flexible Online courses, you'll have to meet assignment deadlines but you won't have any scheduled online class meetings.
Want a blend of both? Blended courses include some in-person class sessions with some flexible online lectures.
