IDS 101 - General Education Seminar: First-Year Experience

Course Description: The First-Year Experience (FYE) seminar is a one-credit course that can be linked with a three-credit, introductory college-level course to form a first-year experience learning community. Students learn essential student success skills, behaviors, and habits of mind in the FYE course that they are then able to apply to increase their success in the linked course and other courses throughout their college careers. With an emphasis on self-assessment and reflection, students will work to generate a personalized academic plan for their time at MCC and beyond. Students will also be introduced to MCC’s Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs), and engage with the college’s academic, student support and co-curricular services, along with other college resources, to develop and strengthen those skills and abilities.

ISLOs: This course supports student development of Written and Oral Communications, Critical Thinking, and Personal and Professional Development.
