The University Course Seminar
Students master strategic academic/study skills while gaining
command of natural and social science organization and theory.
Text analysis, inductive discussion, and written exposition illuminate
compelling concepts and ideas drawn from college level Astronomy,
Economics, Physics, Sociology, Micro-Biology, and Psychology.
Einstein's "Time Dilation", Darwin's "Survival
of the Fittest", and Freud's "Subconscious Forces"
are just a few of the concepts explored at the university level.
Taught from its inception as an advanced, college-level course,
this discipline integration provides a rich palette for innovative text analysis and note-taking
skills development.
Sustained concentration and focus for comprehension, analysis,
and retention of challenging text and lecture receive vigorous
treatment in a range of close-reading and analysis exercises (common
to both seminar and tutorial).
The Academic Skills Tutorial
This one-to-one training functions both as a troubleshooting
fail-safe for the seminar and as a vehicle for global academic
skills development.
Individual focus skills benefit from labor-intensive text and
concept analysis emphasizing carefully executed query paths to
surface logic cues, the signifiers enabling mastery comprehension
of increasingly complex theory and organization.
