How to prepare for your 1:1 session

The 1:1 sessions are your chance to receive personal help from your instructor. Follow these tips to get the most of the experience.

1. Prepare your material & identify questions

  • Review the course material and apply what you’ve learned to your material before your 1:1 session.
  • Identify specific questions you want to ask. These can relate to any material from the course but should ideally deal with your own material.

2. Install TeamViewer

Download and install the latest version of TeamViewer.

If you can’t use TeamViewer or don’t have it installed, we will default to Zoom Remote Desktop. Please be aware it’s less reliable and will significantly hinder the quality of the 1:1 session.

2. Test system access

  • Ask a colleague to connect to your computer remotely using TeamViewer on their computer. To do this, they’ll need the ID and Password generated by TeamViewer.
  • Use the network and computer you will use during your 1:1 call.
  • Confirm that TeamViewer can enable remote desktop access and that audio communication works well in both directions.
Skipping this step may mean we spend significant time troubleshooting software issues during your 1:1 session. Please check the microphone and speaker access! Students often overlook it.

4. Prepare your computer

  • Please close all unnecessary documents and apps. In particular, pay attention to private or sensitive content and resource-intensive programs.
  • Open any documents and apps relevant to the 1:1 session.
  • Ensure you have a strong and stable internet connection and will not be disturbed during the call.

5. Join your Zoom call

  • To begin your 1:1 session, use the Zoom link you received with your booking confirmation.
  • Join the call waiting room a couple of minutes early.
  • The 1:1 session will promptly move to TeamViewer if the remote desktop is available. Have your ID and password ready to share via the Zoom chat feature.

Kunstformen:
Inspiration for our artwork

The drawings used throughout our website come from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur, published between 1899 and 1904.

As an accomplished German naturalist and artist, Haeckel was already familiar to Rick Scavetta from his studies in Evolutionary Biology. When developing the company’s visual identity, Rick was drawn to these images for a number of reasons.

Kunstformen der Natur is one of the most influential works bridging the gap between science and art. This is reflected in the marriage of the hard and soft skills in every workshop, such as the presentation of difficult technical material in the Presentation Skills workshop.
