Course Description: Introduction to Business Concepts

Welcome to our exciting 9-week online course, "Introduction to Business Concepts"! This self-paced class is designed for students who are curious about the world of business. Don't worry if you've never studied business before - no prior experience is needed!

What Will be Taught

In this course, we'll explore the basics of business, from understanding what a business is to learning about different types of companies. We'll start with the fundamentals in Week 1, looking at what makes a business tick. As we progress, we'll dive into topics like business ethics, various business structures (like sole proprietorships and partnerships), and even touch on some basic economic principles. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid foundation in business concepts that will help you in your future studies and maybe even inspire you to start your own business one day!

The Class Structure

The class is all about you, the student! Each week, you'll watch fun video lectures, participate in interactive activities (like business simulations), and join in thought-provoking discussions with your instructor. You'll get to share your ideas and learn from a subject matter expert. The best part? You can work at your own pace, fitting the course around your schedule.

Instructor Teaching Style

The instructor believes in a student-centered teaching style, which means you'll be at the heart of your learning experience. Students will receive guidance and support, while the instructor allow for student's engagement with the material to discover answers on their own.  This approach helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students gain a deeper understanding of concepts.


Instructor Interaction

Even though this is an online course, you won't feel alone! Your instructor will be actively involved in the discussion forums, providing feedback on your ideas and answering any questions you might have. You will have weekly video lectures and discussion prompts where you can share your thoughts and engage with your instructor. The activity feedback is another approach that opens the door for two-way interaction to address concerns and offer further clarity
