To Enroll Sign up through Tele-Bears using the appropriate course control number and attend the first class. Admission is by instructor approval, whether you Telebears into the class or not. Admission to a non-adjunct course is not guaranteed until the instructor gives approval at the first class meeting. Any student missing the first class meeting should attend the next class meeting and request admission from the instructor. After the third week of classes, only students referred by an adviser, faculty, or staff member will be eligible for consideration for late admission to EDUC 98.
Some classes fill by the first week and, even with a referral, no late admission is possible.
The goal of this course is to assist students in making an effective transition to university life by developing both the personal and academic management strategies that are essential to successful performance at UC Berkeley. Classroom discussions and exercises emphasize collaborative learning and focus on study strategy topics such as managing time and procrastination, reading and learning actively, writing and communicating effectively, and improving test preparation and performance. Guest speakers will present information about resources critical to academic and personal success. Students will also explore how computers can enhance learning at the undergraduate level. In addition, students will meet with the instructor individually to discuss how they can apply key course concepts to other classes.
