SST 120: Transition to the U.S. Classroom & Culture

This is a one semester course offered on alternate campuses and required for first semester international students, unless exempted by the Director of Global Education, Cultural Enrichment, and Diversity.  The course will focus on the transition that international students make when they begin studying in the United States.  Focus will be given on American idioms, cultural differences, and classroom skills (reading, writing, and participation).  This class will allow international students to discuss problems they are having in their daily interactions with American students and in American classrooms and questions that may come up during these interactions.  Each class will also focus on specific area of necessity within their academic workload.
