Really?  Why?[/quote]

Not sure what pp was referring to but it’s not true.[/quote]

My husband is a professor there. It is certainly true for many humanities department classes for all but 400-level classes. Typically the class meets 3x per week; 2x in person and 1x online. Strong pressure on faculty to include the online component in his department. Faculty handle it differently.

Some post a brief video and then students react or discuss via a Facebook-type interface. Others use it to reinforce subjects students may have struggled with in a recent exam. [/quote]

Interesting..my DD is about to apply.  Not exactly a plus..[/quote]

Something to ask about on tours, particularly at large universities. This doesn't happen at my kid's LAC.

I'm the UMd prof's spouse. One thing to consider - in this scenario, the student is getting content from the actual professor 3x per week. In the past, that 3rd class was be a discussion section led by a graduate student TA.[/quote]
