Orientation and Final Project Sessions
Tempe campus orientation will take place the Saturday before the first day of the first summer session. The orientation day will look something like this:
| 9:00 to 9:30 am | Welcome students. |
| 9:30 to 10:00 am | Ice breaker activity generating student introductions. |
| 10:00 am to noon | Hands-on modeling of how to work with our unique Internet format. |
| Noon to 1:00 pm | A working lunch (provided) with open dialogue between students, staff, and faculty to clarify any additional concerns. |
| 1:00 to 3:00 pm | Practice online dialogues with faculty to get comfortable with procedures utilized in Internet learning. |
| 3:00 to 4:00 pm | A "help session" on individual computer needs, reviewing different operating systems (Mac, PC) and how to load required programs. |
| 4:00 to 6:00 pm | Individualized Q&A |
| 6:00 pm | No-host dinner |
There is also a completely online orientation as an alternative. The link to that online orientation will be given to you when you are admitted to the program. Just let us know if you want to attend the face-to-face orientation.
The Final project session will take place as the culminating experience of the SED 593 class. That session is you presenting your Applied Project in person.
We strongly encourage all students to attend these sessions.
