This two-semester course is designed to orient students to the expectations and experiences of university life at the University of Macau. It will provide active learning opportunities that will enable students to take responsibility for their self-conscious transition from high school to university life.
The course will also serve the function of forming student learning communities, which, facilitated by an RC academic staff member, will encourage students to explore a wide range of experiential learning activities in RC competency areas (Global Citizenship, Cultural Engagement, Healthy Living, Interpersonal Relations and Teamwork, Leadership and Service) while documenting and assessing their personal growth in an e-portfolio.
Students will be responsible for creating a self-development plan and submitting an e-portfolio interim and final project.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Adapt themselves to the learning environment of UM;
2. Function effectively as an active, communicative participant of a residentially-based learning community;
3. Engage in and demonstrate critical thinking about experiential learning;
4. Take active responsibility for personal growth in a Residential College community;
5. Develop, implement, and communicate to others a personal plan for self-development.
