There will not be a formal assessment for this class. Instead, learners will be informally assessed for mastery of learning goals. Learners will use a creative method to present their self-discovery to their classmates. Learners will complete a written essay incorporating strategies for their specific learning styles.Class Experience
Are you ready for the college classroom experience? Do you understand your own learning style? How do you learn best? Which strategies will help you to retain information for mastery of a subject? Which strategies will have you studying long hours with little success or mastery? How much time should you spend on studying and still have time for other activities, such as work, sports, or dating? In College Readiness 101, you will explore your learning style, multiple intelligence, motivations, and expectations of moving from a homeschool (or public high school) to a community college or university environment. Through a series of pre-class materials, students will determine their personal learning styles and strategies for successful first steps into higher education. In class, students will discuss implementing strategies in practical scenarios. Students are expected to complete a writing component describing the results of their self-exploration. Learner progress will be evaluated through active participation in both in-class discussion and completion of pre-class material, presentation, discussion board interaction, and completion of writing component in a formal essay. Session 1: Introductions/ AIMSA Activity/ Discussion board interaction. Session 2: VARK & MISA Strategies Session 3: Jung Typology Results/ Group Discussion/ Email your essay to the instructor. Session 4: Present your discoveries to the class Note: Essays will be returned before the end of session 4.
Learning Goals
Students will understand their own learning styles and how they learn best. They will learn to apply strategies to retain information for mastery of any chosen subject.

Parental Guidance
Learners will take the Jung Typology Test™ outside of class. This is a free personality test consisting of 64 questions. An account is not required for the website. I will provide the link to the website at the end of session 2. During session 3 we will discuss the results of each learner's test. Students will use this free personality test along with many other self-exploration tests to formulate an individualized learning plan.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a unique opportunity to prevent others from suffering through some of the same obstacles I faced as a college freshman. I feel my experience, both personal and professional, needs to be shared to prevent a negative or disheartening first semester in higher education. I spent four years teaching this subject as part of a semester-long, bridgeway course at a community college. I have seen how putting these strategies into practical application has successfully impacted students’ grades, motivations, and self-value. I have often heard a “thank you” from my students at the end of the semester.
