Learning Objectives

Each Practicum course will have its own unique subject matter and deliverables tailored to client needs, but there are a few cross-cutting learning objectives:

• Critical Thinking and Analysis: Researching and conceptualizing problems, defining the scope of a project and breaking it down into workable components
• Teamwork: Working effectively as a team member by identifying key tasks, sharing responsibility for the project, and ensuring all deadlines are met
• Client Relations: Establishing a positive working relationship with a client by understanding the client's needs and deadlines, leading productive meetings, following up with client requests, and managing expectations
• Oral Presentation: Delivering an organized, articulate presentation to the client with effective remarks and graphical aids
• Written Presentation: Preparing a professional, cleanly written document that identifies the client's problem and offers thoughtful analysis and recommendations

Deliverables

Because each Practicum offering is different, the required deliverables for each course will vary depending on client needs. However, each student should expect to make meaningful contributions toward both a final oral presentation and a written report, which will be presented to both the client and the 国产小呦女 community at the conclusion of the semester-long Practicum.
