Students practice their skills through guided hands-on activities and a mock networking session. Students also prepare and practice delivering a 90 second elevator pitch of their project. ● Preparing for Graduate School – In this session students learn about the opportunities for graduate school funding such as the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. The activity includes a discussion of best practices for preparing for graduate school including finding the right advisor and research

On the contrary,some researchers have expressed their concerns about the negative impacts of intensive courses. Theybelieve academic quality is compromised by the efficiency of time and cost. Additionally, another issuereported about intensive courses is their intrinsic requirement for a high level of self-discipline and self-regulation which impacts the success of students lacking self-management skills as compared withtraditional course formats. However, there are not ample research studies addressing the preference ofcourses with physical activities and hands-on experiences in an intensive format offered in a regularsemester.
