School Specific Outline: SSC100

SUCCESS STRATEGIES FOR COLLEGE

Prerequisites 

None

Topic Outline        (see last page)

Modes of Instruction

Your professor may select ANY in-class or out-of-class assignment which may include but is not limited to portfolios, self-evaluations, group assignments, case studies, etc. for grading with or without prior notice.  It is a good idea to BE THERE and BE PREPARED!

Students are required to attend class.  NO ASSIGNMENTS will be accepted outside of class for grading purposes.  In addition, students have 15 marks of the final grade allocated for attendance and participation. Being late may also result in a mark reduction because of the disruption of the entire class group. 

Students must have their TEXTS no later than the week of SEPT. 12 as activities, assignments, and evaluation begin at that time.  Assignments are due in the class period of the week noted. 

LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
 

Prescribed Texts and Tutorials

Required Supplies 

TBA

Modes of Evaluation

Evaluation will consist of in-class and out-of-class work.  The marked assignments will be directed by the professor.  Students are responsible for tracking their progress and directing any questions or concerns to their professor on an on-going basis. 
 

Major Topics For Evaluation (Based on Learning Outcomes):

• Research: Faculty of Business - programs, policies, procedures; College Resources - library, math help, peer tutors, counseling, scholarships and bursaries, etc.
• Research: Use of the Internet as a tool for research.  This topic will be completed in conjunction with your ICA subject.  The expectation is to facilitate the student with the transfer of learning from the ICA subject to SSC and other subjects.
• Learning Styles and Study Habits
• Listening and Note taking
• Time Management
