About this Course

Are your teens college ready? Are they prepared for college level work?

This course will be offered for students who want to find out more about what it takes to be successful in college. The presenters will include actual college students who will share their stories of what it takes to transition to this new and more demanding environment and how to make better choices with your new freedom. They will demonstrate the techniques they use to get good grades.

The course covers it all – from scientific principles of learning, to study planning and time management techniques, along with useful demonstrations and modeling of highly effective study strategies and methods necessary to ensure success at the college level.

In addition to providing the “how to” of important techniques, this course includes personal interviews with successful college students who explain their secrets to studying and preparing for tests. They will also share the common mistakes that college freshman make and how to avoid them. Learn how to ask questions in class, and how to understand a course syllabus. Learn how to work in study groups, and how to collaborate on team projects.

Even some of the best high school students have not always developed good study skills. This course includes important basics – knowing how to read a text book, understand a syllabus, plan your week, take notes in class, take multiple choice tests are many more ideas that will help your teen have a smooth transition to the college classroom.

If you have not taught your child time management skills, they may well lose their way in college. Children need to be able to devote time to tasks they may not want to do before they go off to do more fun things. If they do not have this ability, they could well run into trouble in college
