One of my classes is called "Elements", huh?

Anyone know what this "elements" class is?  There don't seem to be any supplements for it?

"Elements" may be a brief introduction to the american legal system given during orientation.  At my school (a T2), we had a 1-credit course called "introduction to law."  It was a week-long course during orientation; it required the completion of a 5-page paper at the end of orientation (of soon after), and was graded pass/fail.  I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Elements may be similar to the "Legal Methods" course I had to take.  It was about the basics of statutory construction, learning to see how cases develop and change the law, etc.

It was actually pretty helpful in hindsight, but during, it was boring as hell.

My first thought was that it might have something to do with understanding crimes, torts, defenses, etc., by understanding their elements.  For example, common law larceny has several elements: (1) trespassory (2) taking and (3) carrying away of (4) the property of another with (5) intent to steal.  Or negligence: (1) duty, (2) breach, (3) causation, (4) damages.  And so on.  This was a big part of our Criminal Law class, so maybe your school teaches it as a foundation for Crim Law, or something.

Naw, you're way off base.  It's a study of the rise and fall of Earth, Wind, and Fire
