In this introductory, mentor-based course, students are guided through developing study skills to improve academic and work performance, based on their learning styles. They are provided several application opportunities based on self-assessments in topics such as time management, memory, oral communications, reading, writing, note taking, critical thinking, test taking, and researching. Students completing this course will develop skills that enable lifelong learning and make them actively involved in their own learning; discover their learning style strengths and weaknesses; develop techniques for scheduling in order to set and reach long- and short-term goals; and develop and demonstrate critical thinking for decision making and problem solving.
