Field Supervisor Web Conference #3 - Final One!!!

June 27, 2012 at 5:30 pm. My 3rd and final web conference with my Field Supervisor Dr. Ralph Draper. Feels good to have this part finished on my way to my Master's degree. There are so many things to remember and so many deadlines to meet that finishing one requirement is a great feeling.
As the meeting began there were a few technical difficulties on Dr. Draper's part but we were able to begin at 5:35 pm. Dr. Draper went through the participants to see what meeting they were on and verifying whether this was their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd meeting. 
Next Dr. Draper asked each of us to discuss our internship and research to see where we were. He also asked that we share any ideas and/or suggestions as to how to make this better for future students. Many of the comments again go back to forms and streamlining the assignments. That has been difficult but it is getting better and I believe that the Blackboard will help.
When it was my turn I agreed that the forms and having the wrong assignments has caused confusion and frustration and hopefully things will get better with the implementation of Blackboard as compared to EPIC. I also agreed that these web conferences are very helpful because we get to see each other as well as have a lot of questions answered in person which makes everything clearer for us.
The rest of the time Dr. Draper reassured us that there would be more web conferences for those that needed to do some more web conferences with the field supervisor and wished luck those of us who are finished . He also made sure that we knew he was always available for anything in the future and to feel free to contact him if need be. We ended at 6:00 pm. Done!
