Students are encouraged to apply these strategies in their other courses; for this reason, it is strongly recommended that this course be taken in conjunction with at least one other course. A final portfolio compiled by each participant demonstrates study strategies applied to discipline-specific coursework and reflects on the student’s progress through the term. Successful completion of this pass/fail course depends on excellent attendance and timely completion of all assigned work.
