This course is for students who have transferred to U of M from a community college or four-year university and are planning to major in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) field. Our aim is to help students successfully transition in their STEM classes and to the greater university community. We will examine the key differences between how STEM classes are taught here as compared to your previous school; adapt and expand your skills toolbox; learn how to build successful relationships with UM faculty and staff; and set goals for your future success. The class will be focused on active and engaged discussions of your experiences as a STEM transfer student. Assignments will consist of journals, transfer passport challenge, an exam review, and a resume.
