The student requires job counseling upon graduation but their school does not provide it. The document proposes and evaluates two prototypes for peer-led job counseling: Prototype I involves role-playing job interviews and scenarios in teams to provide feedback. The sessions would be videotaped and critiqued. Prototype II expands on Prototype I by having another team critique the video and provide a list of questions and suggestions to improve the process. The role-playing would cover topics like interviews, first day on the job, resumes, and more. The process would be ongoing and offered permanently by the school to help more students. No special equipment is required.

This document discusses discussion boards, including where they are used, important considerations for using them, and pros and cons. Discussion boards allow asynchronous participation and are used in educational and business settings. Key points include the importance of active participation through on-topic posts and responses, using clear subject lines, maintaining timeliness, and being mindful of proper etiquette and anonymity.
