Students use case studies to identify responsible behaviors appropriate for college. They identify and list choices made by successful students and learn to use problem-solving processes to weigh alternatives. They also use journals to write about their thoughts and feelings while finding ways to become more efficient and effective. In addition, they identify their tentative short- and long- range personal and academic goals. Upon successful completion of LSK 30G, the student should be able to: Use a problem-solving method to make decisions.
