Distance Education Guidelines
Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia categorizes courses into three formats.
Face to Face (F2F) indicates that at least 51% or more of class time is face-to-face on-campus.
-
Hybrid indicates that a course includes F2F and online teaching modalities.
-
Online indicates that more than 49% or more of class time is online.
For all DNAP PD courses, instructors are responsible for recording the method of teaching that will be used for each class meeting in the Topic Outline section of the syllabus.
They may choose from the following options:
-
Face to Face (F2F) – This indicates that the class will meet on-campus.
-
Online/Synchronous – This indicates that the course will meet online, and students are required to attend at a specific date and time.
-
Online/Asynchronous – This indicates that the course will meet online in a format that the students may complete on their own schedule.
-
Instructors must report any changes to the method of teaching listed in the syllabus to schedulechange@mtsa.edu.
The Registrar’s Office documents the method of teaching listed in each syllabus and any changes that are reported throughout the semester. The Faculty Assistant confirms with instructors each week that the correct method of teaching is reported.
At the end of each semester, the Registrar’s Office calculates the percentage of each method of teaching for each course to determine the course formats.
