  • GENS 151 - Academic Reading Strategies


    Credits: 3

    In order to be successful in college, students must be able to read, comprehend, synthesize, and process large amounts of information. This course emphasizes the before, during, and after active reading strategies necessary for learning information across the academic disciplines. In addition, students will be encouraged to become self-regulated learners and will demonstrate their understanding of the strategies through practice and application on college-level textbook reading. Students should enroll in a reading intensive course (i.e. history, sociology, political science) as a companion for applying the reading strategies. This three-credit hour course counts as elective credit toward graduation. Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of GENS 099  or appropriate placement based on SAT Critical Reading or ACT Reading scores.
