COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Taught at the College, this course prepares the first-year students to adjust to and benefit from the whole person education of UM. It introduces students to a set of basic competencies, study skills and active-learner attitudes that are expected of a university student. Through experiential learning in RC educational activities, learning experiences at UM at large, and the course required e-portfolio practice, students will learn to appreciate selected competencies prescribed as goals of the “community and peer education” of UM. They will also learn how to relate these competencies to their academic performance as well as future career development.
