Description

In this course, you will explore materials that will serve as a tool to critically navigate college issues ranging from developing effective time management and organizational skills to navigating faculty relationships, college classes, finances, among others. You will also engage in weekly discussions designed to guide first year students to elicit self-discovery and awareness that promote informed choices and decisions during college. Through careful reading and discussions, this course will allow you to engage more intentionally with all aspects of being a successful college student and develop a critical lens to position yourself within your educational context.
