Connect sessions are mandatory weekly sessions with a Udacity Session Lead to track progress, work through technical blockers and work on relevant case studies together. These sessions are a great opportunity to network, build connections and stay on track to graduate on time.

Your Session Lead is there to help you successfully progress through your track from enrollment straight through to graduation. The Session Lead is the person who will be conducting your periodic connect sessions. They will answer your questions, help you overcome any technical challenges, point you to helpful resources and give you guidance to complete the program successfully. Once you are enrolled in your track, you will receive an email informing you about your Session Lead. You can also know more about your Session Lead, among other session details, from your classroom.

Udacity Connect sessions are focused on delivering three key benefits:

• Collaboration: You’ll have the opportunity to work with your Session Lead 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: By attending your connect sessions and spending around 10 - 15 hours per week on your independent study, you will successfully complete your track just in time.

Udacity Connect Sessions will take place on the same day and time periodically. Attending Connect Sessions is a mandatory part of participating in the program and failure to keep up with attendance will put you at risk of losing your Nanodegree. The exact timing for your weekly sessions will be shared with you at the beginning of your track via email and will also be available on your classroom home page in your classroom card.

Your sessions will be 2 hours long.

Prepare your own laptop, headphones, power cord, and whatever else you find helpful. Also, please make sure your internet connectivity is stable and strong to be able to attend the session with no problems.
