Introduction

The content on the University Survival website is the product of working with undergraduate students over a career that has spanned 6 decades.  The content has been developed from working with approximately 1000 freshmen each year.

The content contained on the website can be used in a number of ways.

  • Integrated into a first year course designed to improve the transition to college
  • Incorporated into the course materials for any “rescue course” your institution might have for students in academic danger.
  • Incorporated into the course materials for at risk students as a preventive strategy
  • Provided to academic advisors and student support staff who work with students.
  • Become a part of a parent connection for your campus to help parents deal with the issues their students are going through
  • Use as part of special programming in the summer prior to student’s full-time enrollment to prepare them for college.
  • Used as on-line programming for students once they are accepted into your institution to help them prepare for college while they are still in high school.

You will no doubt think of other ways to use the content here.  The website is intended to be community driven.  Should you have any questions about how to use the content, just submit it on the community link on the homepage.  We value your experience with the content, especially any testimonials you would like to share with us.  You can also submit these on the community link.  Testimonials can be from your students or from your own experiences.

You will also notice that we have a course syllabus link as well.  We will be posting syllabi from courses which use the content from the website in their courses.  To submit your syllabus just sent your syllabus to  [email protected]. .

  • I have changed and adopted some things. First is my time management. I learned how to manage my time by using simple things like the what to-do-list. I never thought about using time between classes in doing useful things. I used to either go back to my apartment if that break is long or just use my phone in texting. However, I do realize how can I use that time, I usually spend my time in the engineering lab even if I have everything done, I just go and figure out what to do because in anyway its better than going back to the apartment. Additionally, I learned a very useful thing like the cheat sheet. I have never heard of this until I took this class. I think even if it’s not permitted to be used in some classes, it benefits me in reviewing before a test and quizzes since most of what is going to be covered is in there. What I like here is that everything we learn can be used in real situations or study cases. For instance, I learn some tips for studying such as flash cards and when I try it, it works quite perfectly..
