Why Take The Course ?

 

 Why Take the Course?

The 'Strategies for College Success' course is designed to teach students what are often referred to as "study skills," those strategies or approaches that enable one to better learn, understand and retain what is being taught, and the ways to manage one's time and life, in the new environment of college. The strategies and approaches covered utilize the following basic skills: Take Reasonable Risk, Take Responsibility for your Outcomes, Search the Environment, and Use Feedback. These skills are applied to learning from lectures and textbooks, preparing for exams, researching and writing papers, managing tasks, making career decisions, and managing oneself and one's life at college.
