I have been teaching "college
success" courses of one sort or another for more than 30 years
now. Sometime or other, I'll figure out how to do it
right--maybe when I'm finally finished with college
myself. For the past several years, I have team-taught
IDLwith Dr. Peter Ramey. The classes are independent this year,
but both are called "Great Books," and we'll have some shared
activities.
The class has two main objectives. One goal is to help
make a good transition to college in general and NSU in
particular. "making a good transition to college"
material. The content/freshman seminar part of the class
emphasizes putting together a reading plan for personal and
professional development.
