“My last client-based class project was a disaster”: Developing best practices for a successful project process

Client-based or applied projects can provide a host of benefits to students, clients, and the instructor. However, planning and facilitating the projects are often onerous for the instructor and result in unmet expectations for one or more of the participating parties. This session engages participants in a discussion of client-based learning project experiences and provides resources to aid in successful administration of future client-based class projects. Participants will respond to simulated issues encountered during client-based projects and develop tools to aid in design/planning for increased success and met expectations.
