FOUNDATIONS OF STUDENT SUCCESS ● This course is designed to guide incoming first year students through the transition from high school to college. ● This will involve further developing content knowledge previously covered in secondary schools, reflecting on self-assessments taken, diagnosing learning styles, beginning to develop college-level study and tests- taking skills, and learning the resources available to students on a college campus. ● Each week is a different big idea that focuses on an area of developmental need. ● Students will receive content addressing common themes based off of the ACT Engage Assessment.
Principles of Stem Innovation ● This is a two part course which is broken up over a 4 week period. ● Every two weeks students will learn about different STEM related areas that will help prepare them for the upcoming semester ● Topics covered will include ● Physics Principles ● Genetic Principles ● Engineering Principles ● Chemistry Principles ● Each course will be taught by a different Full-Time TCNJ Faculty member ● These modules are full, non-remedial topics taught at the pace of a summer course. ● Students will apply the study and cognitive skills learned from their Foundations of Student Success course
