• Learning Skills and Resource Management
• Critical Thinking and Reading

Course Objectives: X155 is designed to help class participants:

• gain an undestanding and working knowledge of the many resources available for effective learning,
• engage in individual and group inquiries into the learning process,
• identify and nurture leadership skills,
• help participants meet their own individual goals and objectives,
• explore the unique perspective of being a minority student at a predominately white institution of higher learning.
