I'm about to send this out to everyone I know, pls give me some
feedback... does this explain the project?

********************
The experience U Open Course (XPU11) will introduce you to the
University experience. It is a free, five week course offered by UPEI
that will answer some of the questions we hear most often. What
exactly does a student do at university anyway? What does a professor
do? How do i organize my work? How do I succeed?

If you are planning to start school in the fall of 2012, now is the
time to start thinking about it. That's true for students currently in
high school and for mature students returning to school. This course
will give you a chance to get a sense of how we do things at
university, and how you can best prepare to join us.

There will be an introductory video for each week, giving an overview
of the topics we will cover. You can choose to work with us in our
online space if you like, or you can put your work in your own space.
No grades. No 'teacher.' Just a chance to work with some professionals
and some of your peers to get a chance to experience university.
You'll be responsible for your own work... maybe the most important
thing to get used to when starting your university career.

Week 1 – What's a student?
Week 2 – What's a professor?
Week 3 – What's a syllabus?
Week 4 – What's research?
Week 5 – How do I succeed at university?

If these are questions you need answered, sign up. Everyone is
invited. Just click on this link and we'll set you up an account.

love your participation.

cheers.
