NuOrientation 2024
Masterclass Orientation
If your instituion is new to masterclasses or to the flavor of masterclass you intend pursue, a full orientation is in order. A masterclass orienation can be done online via Zoom or in person with a visit from a QuarkNet staff member or fellow. It is intended for teachers and mentors. Here is what is covered:
- Classroom prep for the masterclass
- Try out a MINERvA or NOvA masterclass measurement
- Walk-through of masterclass logistics
- Masterclass Library
- Zoom test
- Q&A
This generally takes 1-3 hours, though it can be trimmed or extended depending on need. If you have had a MINERvA Data Workshop in the past year, it counts as an orientation. If you had one previous to this, you may still need an orientation update, which generally takes one hour..
Institutions in NOvA masterclasses need a full orientation as this is a new measurement.
Experienced Institutes: Orientation Updates
An orientation update is to bring teachers and mentors up to speed on the latest in masterclass measurements and procedures. As orientation updates are done online, they also serve as Zoom tests. Orientation updates take 1-2 hours.
