COL 123 - Learning & the College Community

3 CR

This course introduces students to the resources, practices, and habits of mind necessary for success in college. The focus will be on the role of educational skills/behaviors in preparing students to be successful in their civic and personal lives and gives particular attention to the topics of diversity and difference as a central characteristic of the contemporary world. Students will consider the relevance of this topic to their personal, academic, and civic lives. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on the links between their own stories-what has brought the student to this point in their personal and academic life-with the values and goals that motivate educational and career pursuits. This course asks students to reflect upon their responsibilities as a member of the course, college, and community.
