What are the goals of a Connect session?
What are the goals of a Connect session?
Udacity Connect sessions are focused on delivering three key benefits:
Collaboration: You'll have the opportunity to work with instructors and peers to complete projects, overcome challenges, and master new concepts.
Accountability: You'll benefit from check-ins with your Session Lead, who will help you with goal-setting, time management, and motivation.
Efficiency: Based on a model of 1.5 - 2 hours per week spent in Udacity Connect virtual sessions, and 10 hours/week spent on independent study, you will successfully complete your Nanodegree program just in time.
Your Session Lead will also present lectures covering course material, and your program will additionally feature guest speakers—who are working professionals in relevant fields—speaking about their jobs, and how they apply the concepts you'll be actively working on.

Your Session Lead is a Udacity-affiliated subject matter expert, there to help you successfully navigate your Nanodegree program from enrollment straight through to graduation. The Session Lead is the person who will be conducting your weekly connect sessions. They will answer your questions, help you overcome any technical challenges, point you to helpful resources and give you guidance on strategies for program success. Once you are enrolled in your Nanodegree, you will receive an email informing you about your Session Lead. You can also learn more about your Session Lead, among other session details, from your classroom.
