WHAT IS A BREAKFAST CLUB STUDY JAM?🤔
It's a 4 hour long Study Session where all of you can access project-specific webinars, live help, and “time with teachers" on Zoom. We all will be online for those 4 hours to help you working on your projects with the resources you need to get your questions answered!
*This Study Session takes its cues from the 1985 John Hughes movie, the "Breakfast Club" - a movie about five high school who students meet in Saturday detention.
HOW WILL IT WORK?
It's simple. You will join a ND-specific Zoom meeting room (aka "Detention") to work on your project for 4 hours. Everyone in the room will be muted so you can all focus on your work. If you have a question or a blocker that comes up while you learn, you can:
- 👨🏫Ask a "teacher" – in each "Detention" room there will be a graduate student or student leader waiting for questions from students.
- 🍿Join a Project Walkthrough or Project Q&A Webinar – during the study session in "Detention" you will be invited to join another room to watch a webinar.
DETENTION SCHEDULE
