This first-year student success course addresses issues related to the student's transition to college and beyond. Students use a variety of self and career assessment instruments to explore career paths, practice goal setting, and develop plans for achieving their goals. In addition to identifying individual learning styles and practicing academic success strategies, students develop critical thinking abilities as they analyze and question texts, apply course materials to case studies, and evaluate their experiences as they relate to learning, self-development, and career exploration.
Students learn fundamentals of primary and secondary research.
The course also acquaints students with the services available to them at the college.
