Use critical thinking and writing skills to address discussion topics individually. Engage in active dialogue with class members regarding goal setting. Select from the discussion topics below. The class votes on a topic. The instructor selects three topics and students choose one of the three.
Students write individually for ten minutes.
Students then either share with the class or in small groups what they have written. Discussion proceeds from there. Interview three individuals that are in their second year, third year, and fourth year of college about their success in college. Ask each person what activities helped them or did not help them in school. Your goal is to find out the factors that made them successful college students.
