This course, which is a combination of workshops, is designed to help you succeed in your graduate studies. You will learn how to use the many resources available on your university campus. You will also gain information that will help you notice your own cultural assumptions and adjust to new expectations. Some workshops will help you develop practical techniques for resolving both personal and academic issues. For example, you will explore U.S. expectations for classroom behavior, academic integrity, and communication with professors and classmates. You will also practice graduate writing, presentation, and listening and notetaking skills.
