There aren't always concrete answers to questions and this can be challenging to accept. I like the fact that coursework is designed to be practical and that there are many opportunities to gain hands-on experience. After a 10-week course, my class traveled to Argentina and Chile over spring break to complete research on group assignments. I was working on a technology project and found the in-country study extremely valuable. Each quarter has had different challenges.
Classes are obviously a major responsibility all along.
Students build on this as they take additional responsibilities as each quarter progresses. Teamwork has been a major focus all along. Over the year, teamwork becomes easier in terms of conflict resolution, but more difficult with regard to scheduling. First-quarter students, for the most part, have the same schedule. By the third quarter, however, people are all over the map with electives.
