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.

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.

You must reach out to your session lead in advance on Slack to inform him or her that you will not be able to attend your session, as the Session Lead is responsible to track your attendance. If you have already missed your connect session, please reach out to your Session Lead immediately with a clear explanation of why you were not able to inform him/her of this in advance of the session. The periodic connect sessions are very important and considered one of the main pillars of the program. Missing sessions might cause you to fall behind and put your enrollment in jeopardy. Connect Sessions are not mandatory, but strongly encouraged and participation is monitored.

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 on your classroom card.

Your session 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.
