Face-to-Face
Face-to-face teaching is an instructional method where course content is taught in person, in a physical classroom environment.
Online:
Online teaching is an instructional method where students and instructors connect via technology to review lectures, submit assignments and communicate with one another. No face-to-face learning occurs since lectures, assignments and readings are delivered online.
Blended:
Blended teaching (also known as hybrid or mixed-mode) is an instructional method where a portion of the traditional face-to-face instruction is replaced by web-based online instruction. Therefore, classes are delivered via electronic and online media as well as traditional face-to-face teaching.
HyFlex:
Hybrid-Flexible (also known as HyFlex teaching) integrates in-class instruction, online synchronous video sessions, or asynchronous content delivery. The instructor will deliver the class in a regular classroom, but students may attend in person, participate in the class through video conferencing, or watch a recording of the class session.
Business plans are tools used by entrepreneurs to evaluate the viability of business opportunities and record their goals and objectives. Although having a business plan does not guarantee business success, not having one makes success less likely.
Credit Hours: Four (4) lecture hours, two (2) hours of group discussion, and two (2) hours of group presentations each week for seven weeks.
