The course addresses the major conderns of struggling students: time management, choosing a major, not succeeding in the first choice of major, missing family and friends, study skills, and adjustments to the requirements of college. In addition to required enrollment in the course, students are restricted to no more than 13 credits, including this one-credit course, during their second semester.
