I have recently taken over the role of General Education Department Chair at my campus and need to improve the department's retention, absence rates, and failure rates. I would like to include the following topics in all first-quarter classes:
- Study Skills
- Stress Management
- Seeing the class and school as a community
It appears that these are three major issues that relate to retention.
My question is: How can these skills incorporated into classes that are not college success courses, such as math or introductory computer classes?
