Therefore, the executive director of CGE is invited byCPDC to meet with employers immediately prior to the start of each semester’s career fair to toutthe advantages of internationalizing their companies by encouraging employers to hire eligible F-1 students for appropriate internship and post- graduation work opportunities. Starting lastsemester international staffing agencies who are fluent in visa sponsorships, etc. are also invitedto this event.

However, despite instructor-leddiscussions encouraging students to reason about the protocol, sequence numbers were harder forstudents to grasp. The following activity provides an imaginary scenario to help students reasonabout the protocol as a puzzle.Scenario: Two astronauts want to communicate with each other.

This approach not only enriches students' learning experiences by facilitating a deeper understanding of the concepts but also aligns with the established SLOs for the program. To effectively evaluate SLOs, it is imperative to develop appropriate assessment tools and corresponding rubrics. B.
