SAS 100 - Seminar for Academic Success

This course is a practical skill building course designed to support students as they advance in their college careers. This seminar will facilitate students’ becoming fully engaged and contributing members of our intellectual community by offering a series of weekly seminars on a variety of topics related to achieving academic success. Students will learn to develop and maintain skills that both promote personal responsibility for learning and assist them in successfully meeting the expectations of the college classroom. Applied learning will be a key component as students move from theory to practice, enhancing their own critical thinking skills and familiarizing themselves with the various support services available to them.

While this course is recommended to students who need practical guidance and basic skills support (for example, reading comprehension, time management, study and note taking skills), this seminar is ultimately designed to enhance the joy of learning and expand students’ consciousness around best practices.

Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor only.
