Debates have been ongoing if a traditional classroom settings provide a more effective way to deliver educational content over more modern alternatives such as online or hybrid online course offerings. In order to shed light on this debate an experiment was conducted over a fifteen-week period. In total, 90 students were randomly separated into 3 different courses. In other words, 30 students were in a traditional classroom for a semester, 30 were asked to take the course in a hybrid...
