| Students learn and adopt methods and attitudes that promote success in
college. Study skills learned are memory techniques, goal setting, time
management, note taking and test taking. The reading component focuses on
problems college students have with textbook comprehension and retention,
vocabulary development, and critical thinking and reading. In addition, CSSF
105 addresses challenges students face through participation in courses
delivered on-line, via course management software. Topics include log-in and
navigation basics; use of calendars; downloading and submitting assignments;
completing self-tests, quizzes and surveys; participating in discussions and
chats; creating student presentations and homepages; and tracking progress
and grades. |
