Now it's really a flipped classroom course. So it has this blended learning aspect to it where the students complete online reading before they attend the classroom hours. And then in the classroom, we really go through examples, worked examples, where the students can apply the theory that they've learned while they did the online reading. I think this is the key thing that you guys and Jen and myself really saw the course being when I started teaching it. JEREMY ORLOFF: So how do you ensure that they do the online reading?
