Most high school seniors look forward to going to college. They know that it’s going to be a new and different experience. Students, however, do not always understand the changes required to succeed in college. To explore these changes we will conduct a research project in which students interview faculty members and upperclassmen to determine the factors that help students succeed in college. Some of the questions explored in LC 604 are: How are college professors different from high school teachers? Why is tutoring so popular on college campuses? Why do most students take more than four years to graduate? What are the keys to college success? Essay writing skills developed in ISE 100 will be applied in this course.
