plagiarism In lecture classes, many instructors project slides or notes on a screen and may even upload lecture notes so that students can review them Some courses are hybrid, meaning that they have a strong online component, or offered entirely online Many courses taught in conventional lecture halls are streamed online, and may use devices such as clickers to become more interactive Any device
