| Anticipated
Outcomes? |
Involvement
in a Student Development class has several strengths:
1) it enhances commitment to the task of career exploration
and decision making, since a grade is involved, 2) you
have the opportunity to be in a class with other students
who have the same concerns, thus giving you mutual support
and sharing of information and resources, and 3) it
gives you the extended amount of investment in time
and energy to explore and think about these issues adequately.
With this in mind, we consider the class to be one of
the most intensive and most successful ways to engage
in career exploration and decision making and improved
scholarship. |
