The University of Miami provided several modes of teaching during its reopening in the fall: hybrid, remote learning/virtual, and in-person teaching. Students were able to select their learning option and whether they would be classified as a remote or on-campus student for the duration of the semester.
Freshman Nyayaongah Gony did not like the hybrid learning model. With this specific option, a certain number of students would come to class on a specific day while the rest of the class stayed back and attended the class online. This aim was targeted to reduce the capacity of students in a room to enable adequate social distancing.
