Abstract:	This paper provides advice to business instructors who will be preparing and delivering a HyFlex class for the first time. This small-scale exploratory study investigates student evaluations of the instructor and course the first time two professors taught HyFlex accounting business classes and compares those results with results obtained when they taught the same classes in a non-HyFlex (online asynchronous) delivery mode. Outcomes are also compared across the two concurrently-taught sections of the same HyFlex class where possible. Results show that average instructor evaluations were significantly lower in the online-attendanceonly section of one HyFlex class compared with the in-person-attendance-allowed section of the same HyFlex class. There is weak evidence that average course evaluations were significantly lower in the HyFlex section of another class than in the non-HyFlex (asynchronous) section of that same class. There were no other significant differences found in instructor or course evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
