| Learning Communities are a great format for learning and student success! In a Learning Community, you will attend two courses with the same group of students. The faculty members leading the Learning Community have planned some unique assignments and activities around a common theme. The two courses are conveniently scheduled back-to-back and your professors may even be teaching some topics as a team to help you more effectively understand the course material. Research shows that students who participate in a Learning Community spend more time together, make new friends, form study groups, make stronger connections with faculty, the college and the courses they are studying - and, even better, are more successful than students who schedule their classes individually! |
Study Skills + Reading + Math = SUCCESS Would you like to learn how to study smarter, not harder? Do you think Math is a foreign language? Do you ever feel lost in a sea of words?

You will become confident in your ability to understand what you read, solve math problems, and take tests. The skills you learn can be applied to real life as well as courses like business, nursing, fire science, computers and even art. (ENL020 & MAT020)

What Makes Us Tick?
Thinking & Writing about Human Behavior Why are we attracted to some people and not others? Why do we get depressed? How important is intelligence? Why do some people use drugs to alter their consciousness? Are we born with our personalities or raised to be who we are? Who was Pavlov, and why should we care about his dog? During this paired course, we will read, think, talk, and write about human behavior and mental processes - thought, emotion, motivation, memory and intelligence. We’ll develop insight into human psychology and use writing as a tool to develop and convey our thoughts and ideas on a topic that influences us all.
