First Semester Credit Bearing Student Success Course What was completed in Phase I: 1. What is a First Semester Course? -- A course that teaches college success skills in the context of the academic content which serves to reinforce the skills. 2. Best examples are those that use disciplinary faculty to teach the course 3. 83% of community colleges offer such a course 4. La. Guardia model the most suitable since it operates within CUNY 5. Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 – we looked at several models 6. Divided our task into 2 -- A. What should the first-year course look like? What are the course learning outcomes we are interested in? B. How will this course fit into the curricula for the different majors?
