Field-Related Glossary

1 Springboard. terms

I am currently studying on Springboard at Cegep of Saint-Jérôme. This field of study is mostly good for students who are not sure of what they want to do in the future, or even if you need to finish some classes you needed for the program you want to get into. In this glossary I will talk about the useful reasons for students to be on Springboard.

observational courses

If you are on Springboard for the semester and you don't know in what program you like, you can take an observational course related to a program that you could like and then you can see if that program is good for you.

Observational courses are taught during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. It's a study in which the researcher simply observes the subjects without interfering. They simply just observe and take notes.
