It might be a way of listing your orientation session(s).

Re: Professional Development???????

Each school has its own curriculum and not all have a class specifically labelled "professional development." We can only speculate.

Can you contact your school to ask about that? Have you checked the school catalogue?

Re: Professional Development???????

While each school is different, two different schools that I have gone to had a similar professional development course, which entails legal and ethical issues. But like the previous poster suggested, you should call the school, especially since there's no time/dates on your schedule.

Your school catalog has official descriptions of each class. You need to consult it. If you don't already have a copy, shame on you. You need a copy to keep with your transcripts forever. You can usually purchase one from the college bookstore or, more often today, you can download a copy for free online from the college website.

Re: Professional Development???????

no, i do have a catalog; however, it does not list the professional development course... SO i'm gonna have to take the hard route of calling (it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get anybody on the phone)
