This course empowers students to take control of their learning experiences by discovering their own voices and interests so that they become active and productive members of academic communities.

The theoretical components of the course nurture an exploration of selfhood through personal narrative and dialogue, an inquiry into individual learning needs and preferences, and an ability to reflect on the views of others critically.

At practical levels, the course enables students to increase their awareness of campus resources and develop an understanding of navigating educational environments effectively.

International students in particular will learn about Canadian educational perspectives and essential cultural navigational tools. Ultimately, students will emerge with valuable academic and professional skills that foster lifelong development and learning.
