Why Priming Sessions Are Essential?
High-quality online degree programs in Data Science and AI present significant hurdles that often deter even bright students or lead to high attrition rates. Priming sessions directly address these gaps:
- Bridging the Foundational Gap: Many school students lack the advanced mathematical, statistical, and programming fluency required by these university-level courses. Priming ensures a robust transition.
- Confidence and Persistence: The sheer volume and rigor of IIT/IISc curricula can be intimidating. Priming sessions build psychological confidence and resilience, minimizing early discouragement and dropout rates
- Pacing and Self-Discipline: Online learning requires strong self-discipline. Priming introduces students to the required pace and format of asynchronous learning environments
- Optimizing the Learning Path: Students often waste time figuring out the prerequisite skills. Priming maps the prerequisite knowledge directly to the first few modules of the target degree, making the path clear and efficient.
