College Success Skills 101
Mr. Buckner
Welcome to College Success Skills 101!
Would it be nice to figure out what how to become a successful student while attending college. All the years you spent in high school you have heard all about what you should be doing in college and choosing the correct path, but no one exactly tells you how to navigate through your freshman and sophomore year of college. Yes, you might have had a parent go to college or one of your friends, but what do you really know about college and how to become successful. This WebQuest is designed for first time college students that do not know what they should look for in attending college after the completion of their high school career. This should allow you better understand and figure out how to get through college with some helpful tips and to find out if college is right for you.
Task
Now that you have graduated high school or coming from the workforce, it is never too late to get tips to be successful in college. In this step, you need to go and research what it means to be successful in college. This assignment will stressed the differences between student success in high school success and college success skills. For this discussion, imagine you are still trying to decide whether or not to attend college. Drawing from the materials in this course as well as from your own ideas, make a list of reasons to earn a college degree, a list of reasons not to go to college and what skills you think you need to become successful in college.
For example, pipe fitters earn impressive salaries, while librarians earn much less. How do students justify a college education on those terms? What skills do students need to be successful if they are completely a college degree? Please, respond with a 400 word minimum paper using good grammar and punctuation.
Process
Great!!!!!!. Start your search by using the internet using a search engine (I prefer Google... www.google.com ), but you may use which ever one you like. Once you have selected the engine, search for students who were success or unsuccessful in college, and if you do not know where to start you can visit these sites listed below to find more information.
You may use other websites to find the information about college success skills, but remember to write down all the information of that site, as you will need to document it in your paper.
