Topics include time management, college note and test taking, critical thinking skills, career planning, the nature of a university, and ways to become part of the college community. While ultimate responsibility for success in college rests with the student, this course can provide fundamental assistance. All students will receive a 1999 SFA 101 Handbook and calendar at the beginning of the semester. Information in this handbook will be used for class discussion, and be the basis of questions on the exam. Make sure you get them, read them, and understand them.
Attendance is mandatory.
You must attend at least two of the three events. A documented excuse is one which is verifiable concerning some medical, family, or personal emergency. You will be required to submit the documentation. Oversleeping, leaving town for weddings, concerts, etc. are not considered acceptable excuses. There will be one exam during the semester.
