Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I am writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming Winter session and Spring semester of 2005. As always, you should check with your advisor each semester to confirm that your course selection is in line with your particular program. This course advisory contains sections for M.Ed. Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.
