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.
