“To prepare for next semester, we need to identify and evaluate strengths and areas for improvement of our HyFlex model and other facets of our Blueprint for Fall 2020,” Toro explained. “While it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel, we do need to address deficiencies and build on our successes.”
