Courses
eCornell courses, led by live instructors, are delivered in virtual classrooms. Each program lasts for a period of two weeks, during which students work at their own pace. Course work is interactive, focusing on solutions and strategies to help meet current real-world situations students may face in the work place. Instruction is scenario-based, immersing students into situations and case studies, combining simulations, readings, online discussions, self-assessments and short written assignments.
In eCornell courses, individuals interact with both instructors and peer groups to collectively develop and apply learned knowledge. Courses also provide “Ask the Expert” interviews with Cornell University faculty as well as online access to library resources.

Famous quotes containing the word courses:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
