Welcome

LAC 180

This learning strategy course explores the six major control components that usually contribute to high academic achievement: motivation, methods of learning, use of time, monitoring of performance factors, and relationships to both physical and social environment. Presentations and readings involving learning research and theory are interconnected to student participation, assessment, and self-monitoring activities. Students will engage in the self-management and self-prescriptive process to determine what specific academic behaviors will best assist individual academic performance. Students must be registered in at least one other college course in order to provide an application-practice field. (3 credits)

LAC 197

This 10-week course teaches the research skills that are essential to student success in other courses. Finding books and peer-reviewed articles, critical thinking and evaulation of resources, as well as citation style are covered. Students are evaluated through modest weekly assignments culminating in the final project of an annotated bibiography. Each class builds upon the other, helping students to understand how information is created, organized, and best accessed to produce quality college-level work. (1 credit)
