GRADUATE STUDENT COOPERATIVE
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
LEARNING BY PARTICIPATING: SPECIAL NOTE: The sections of the introductory material are part of a required course, ORT 500. It acquaints students with the way we organize the program the IGE Cooperative and Greenwich University. You automatically are taking part of this course as you learn more about the degree program. For this reason, permit us to make a learning and study suggestion: Note that the information may be brought to mind by a few questions about it. For example: Question: Does a student have to only use the courses offered in the program to meet the degree requirements? Question: What are two advantages and one disadvantage of filling degree requirements with transfer courses and equivalent prior learning? Note that if you don't know an answer, you can look it up in the tuition page Paragraph 2. Because this material and the web page links in it, are part of a required Cooperative Education Orientation Course, ORT 500, you are actually doing part of the course right now. The purpose of ORT 500 is to help you master the knowledge and materials needed for you to function in a unique, online, graduate student learning cooperative. The object of the course is to give you the expertise you need to properly administer and sustain your degree program and help others in the program do likewise. A good way to learn and remember the material on these pages and in the Greenwich Program Handbook you will receive, is to change it into questions, as in the example above. Then, to test if you know and understand the material, at any time, you can ask yourself the questions and see if you know the answers; keep the questions and answers near each other (for example on different sides of a page.) This is an excellent way to learn written material. You actually learn much of it without trying as you formulate it into your questions. You also will score unusually high on course exams, if given, at the end of the semester because you will have in hand the questions to the exams and the answers too. You can study from them. Faculty often use your questions, and those of others to make up the exam. For this course, or any course, when you can answer all the questions you make, you know you have mastered the material. That way there are few surprises on your comprehensive exam. Especially important is that in the Cooperative you will use this information to help other students with their program. You grades will partially depend upon how well you do this. We suggest you start your question formulating now as you work with the information that follows. |
The Orientation Course.
