Description:

In order to learn to function comfortably and effectively in an academic setting, students will learn to understand their own cultural and personal learning styles and blend those with learning techniques expected of college students. To do so, students will focus on learning and study skills, critical thinking, basic computer skills, and presentation skills while reinforcing reading, writing, and math skills. Students will also learn to improve their ability to recall both spoken and written materials, visualize concepts, control their anxieties in high stress situations (such as during public speaking and test taking), and develop a positive image of themselves as effective learners. All learning will be related to a central theme focusing on Hawaiian issues and culture. Thus, this course will acquaint students with the college and its services, prepare students for success in all college courses and will help students begin to explore career options.
