WCU is a University of North Carolina Campus
"I've really enjoyed the flexibility that the hybrid courses developed by Dr. Blake provide because we meet in person every other week and have online discussions in the off weeks. Since I work full time, it's great to be able to participate in the online discussions at my convenience. Also, the discussion board ensures that you get to hear the opinions and experiences of all your classmates, which doesn't always happen in the face-to-face meetings."
Shannon L. McCotter, current TESOL student
