Student Success & Academic Skills

Catalog description

The Graduate Student Success and Academic Skills synchronous hybrid course is designed to help international graduate students take advantage of available on-campus resources, adjust to new expectations, gain awareness of cultural assumptions, and develop practical techniques for resolving both personal and academic issues. Students explore U.S. expectations for classroom behavior, academic integrity and communication with professors and classmates. They also practice graduate writing, presentation, and listening and notetaking skills. These unique workshops will ensure that students understand what is expected of them and how to build the skills they need to thrive academically during their graduate experience. This is a non-credit course. An appropriate score on an accepted English proficiency test is required for entry.
