SGU Courses are taught in one of three methods: Standard, Asynchronous, and Dual-Delivery. Each syllabus indicates the mode of delivery.
Standard Delivery Courses
In a standard course, all students attend class in-person. The course website is used to house course materials like readings and assignments (applicable to MD and DVM track courses)
Asynchronous Courses
In an asynchronous course, all lectures are recorded, and students can watch them on their own schedule. The course website is used to house course materials and serves as the main discussion area for students and faculty. Although the lectures are asynchronous, students still need to adhere to weekly deadlines for assignments.
Dual-Delivery Courses
In a dual-delivery course, students have the option of attending lectures in person or via web conference. Students joining via web conference have a similar experience to students who are in the physical classroom. The course website is used to house course materials and links to the web conferences.
