Elements courses are a broad overview of a School Business area offered at least one time during the year and conducted in a format much like a college course with class time, assignments, quizzes, etc. The typical Elements courses are online, 4 week asynchronous courses with 1 unit per week. Students will complete 1 quiz and 2-3 discussion questions per unit. Students will also have the opportunity to join 3 calls with the instructor, including the initial kick off call. The in-person courses are run as a 1 day workshop where the concepts are reviewed and the discussions happen in person, with the quizzes being taken online after the in-person portion. For the in-person courses, all 4 units are covered in 1 day. The in-person courses are labeled in the event title.
